Russell's Reserve Private Barrel Selection (Warehouse: Camp Nelson B)
Bourbon — USA
Reviewed
April 15, 2023
Wine.com Selection.
**Color:** 1.2 chestnut
**Nose:** Different. Dark, sherried cherry, toasted oak, wet wood, and baked apple.
**Taste:** I can’t say I’ve really ever tasted Wild Turkey like this before. Very sweet, and fruity, but its core Wild Turkey flavors provide a footing of deliciousness. Cherry cola, brown sugar, and vanilla, like the rootbeer float of bourbon in a perfect way. Bunch of caramel to round it out. There’s a real depth to the flavor here that I am truly appreciating, as well. Definitely moreso than the other WT single barrel products I’ve had, of late.
**Finish:** Long and sweet, continuing from the taste, but with enough rye spice to balance it out.
**Overall:** This was a true treat. A combination of flavors that I was not expecting, nor was ready for. Sad that I only have an ounce to test, I guess CN-B is high on my wants list, now.
