Russel’s Reserve RickHouse

Inspired by the unique conditions of the storied rickhouses at the Wild Turkey Distilling Co, the Single Rickhouse collection explores the often-unsung contributions specific barrel resting places can have on a whiskey’s final character. Each limited time offerings in the annual series features whiskey drawn entirely from a single rickhouse, celebrating the varied nuances of each aging environment. The collection seeks to prove that the where can be just as important as the how when it comes to exquisitely crafted whiskey, all while inviting Russell’s fans closer into the fold with more information about the origins and influences on their favorite bourbons. Tasting Notes The second entry in the series, the 2023 Russell’s Reserve Single Rickhouse from Camp Nelson F, is a rare bourbon, bottled from a small batch of barrels from the ‘center cut’ floors 4 and 5. Bottled at a barrel proof of 117.6, and non-chill filtered, this robust, long-lasting bourbon is meant to sip and savor. Color Rich, dark amber Aroma Notes of oak, vanilla, and cinnamon transition to aromas of cherry, raisins and dates. Taste Robust flavors of clove and white pepper give way to sweet notes of caramel, orange peel and dark fruits. Finish A lasting finish with honey and baking spice that gives way to tobacco and mature oak.
