A Legacy Poured into Every Glass
Bourbon aficionados, imagine a liquid that encapsulates the soul of its birthplace! The Russell family at Wild Turkey Distilling Co. has been crafting award-winning spirits for generations. And now, they’ve graced the world with the annual Limited Edition Whiskey series, the Russell’s Reserve Single Rickhouse. Each bottle in this collection is an ode to the unique character imparted by the rickhouse, a majestic building where Bourbon matures to perfection.
The Charm of Camp Nelson C Rickhouse
The inaugural delight, the Russell’s Reserve Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson C, is more than just a tipple. It’s history in a bottle—an homage to a bygone era and a now dismantled seven-story haven for Bourbon barrels. Perched atop a hill, the Camp Nelson C rickhouse was once clad in timber and tin, a bastion for Bourbon aging that settled in that sweet Kentucky air.
Unveiling a Bourbon Wonder
Master Distiller Eddie Russell, a sage in the art of whiskey wizardry, selected barrels from this fabled rickhouse to create an elixir so rich in complexity, it would make aficionados weep with joy. The center-cut of Camp Nelson C—where the magic of maturation is amplified—yielded a batch so divine, it was unanimous; this was to be the bourbon that kicked off the Single Rickhouse series.
Eddie Russell: The Bourbon Whisperer
Eddie Russell, with a glint in his eye and over forty years of distilling prowess, reminisces his journey through barrels of aging whiskey. Upon his first sample of Camp Nelson C’s liquid gold, a knowing smile must’ve crossed his face. A “once in a blue moon” whiskey, indeed!
What Makes the Single Rickhouse Delightful?
The Russell’s Reserve Single Rickhouse isn’t just another Bourbon; it’s a narrative of excellence and expertise. Aged for over a decade and released as a non-chill filtered spirit, it boasts a staggering 112.4 proof. It’s as if the Bourbon itself is proud of its strength and heritage and wants you to experience its boldness in every sip. The flavor journey begins with a welcoming procession of toffee, coconut, and vanilla that effortlessly transitions into a gala of apple, dried fruit, and toasted pecan rounding out with chocolate and baking spices. The finish? A long, ethereal dance of oak and spices that lingers lovingly, imploring you to savor just a little bit longer.
A World of Flavor Awaiting Your Palate
Imagine the tapestry of tastes that await you. A nose of sweet vanilla giving way to caramel cream, followed by the zest of fresh and dried fruits. Waves of brown sugar, oak, and char eventually wash over you, leading to a taste that’s simultaneously rich, complex, and sweet.
