Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson F
Bourbon
Russell's Reserve // Kentucky, USA
RARE
This is the second release in Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Collection, an annual limited edition series featuring rare liquid from a different rickhouse (past and present) from the Wild Turkey Distillery where the whiskeys mature. Here, the bourbon barrels were sourced from the Camp Nelson F Rickhouse which was build in the 1940s. Located near the Kentucky River, the wind currents here are known to influence the aging barrels by increasing airflow. Master Distiller Eddie Russell selected barrels aged over 10 years from the center-cut on floors four and five from the seven-story building.
It is bottled without chill-filtration at a barrel proof of 117.6. Available at select retailers nationwide and at the Wild Turkey Distillery as of September 2023. (SRP $300).

Tasting Notes
"There's a distinct aroma of buttered and toasted multigrain bread on the nose that mixes with sweet spices, fresh cherries, and leather. It makes quite a grand entrance on the palate, exuding caramel and vanilla swagger and leaving a spicy trail as it travels over the tongue. There's not as much fruit on the palate as on the nose, but it's still not overly rich or sweet since that leathery note ushers the spices along into the finish. "
