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.
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.
