About this bottle
This is the second release in Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Collection, an annual limited edition series featuring rare liquid from a different rickhouse (past and present) from the Wild Turkey Distillery where the whiskeys mature. Here, the bourbon barrels were sourced from the Camp Nelson F Rickhouse which was build in the 1940s. Located near the Kentucky River, the wind currents here are known to influence the aging barrels by increasing airflow. Master Distiller Eddie Russell selected barrels aged over 10 years from the center-cut on floors four and five from the seven-story building. It is bottled without chill-filtration at a barrel proof of 117.6. Available at select retailers nationwide and at the Wild Turkey Distillery as of September 2023. (SRP $300)

NOSE - Sticky marshmellow with caramel swirl. Has a slight savoriness that reminds me of a salted caramel. Some toasted leather notes. Little bit of sweet oak as well.
PALATE - Some nuttiness, saltiness and caramel. Some vanilla notes with touches if typical cinnamon oak and leather.
FINISH - Cinnamon oak leather and vanilla. Such a great classic finish.

Mild caramel, notes of cherrywood, tannin, moderate oakiness, small notes of vanilla, and closer the the finish the tannin and char comes back. Finish is medium length with noticable baking spice and char. its a good whiskey but i think its pretty overpriced for what you get.
