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 offering in the annual series features whiskey drawn entirely from a single rickhouse, proving that the ‘where’ can be just as important as the ‘how’ when it comes to exquisitely crafted whiskey.
TASTING NOTES
The second entry in the series, the Russell’s Reserve Single Rickhouse offering from Camp Nelson F is a rare bourbon, crafted 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.

AROMA
Notes of oak, vanilla, and cinnamon transition to aromas of cherry, raisins and dates.
TASTE
