Russell’s Reserve Single Rickhouse - Camp Nelson B 2024 Release 750ml

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

Selected from a small batch of barrels entirely from the sixth floor of the seven story rickhouse, this is an extremely limited bourbon. Bottled at a barrel proof of 120.2, it is not only the highest proof entry in the Collection to date, but the highest proof Russell’s Reserve bottling ever released, perfectly capturing the essence of the rickhouse.

ABOUT CAMP NELSON B

The third edition of the Single Rickhouse series comes from Camp Nelson B, which was built in the 1940s and is still standing tall today as one of 5 remaining rickhouses on the property. Its central location on the Camp Nelson plot lends itself to increased sun exposure vs. the rickhouses of previous Single Rickhouse releases.
