Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson B Bourbon Whiskey
Product Description:
Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson B Bourbon Whiskey is a rare and exceptional expression from the legendary Wild Turkey distillery, crafted by Master Distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell. This unique bottling is sourced from a single rickhouse—Camp Nelson B—one of the most revered warehouses at Wild Turkey, known for its distinctive aging environment that imparts unparalleled depth and complexity to the bourbon.
What sets this release apart is its single-location aging, which allows the bourbon to develop a richer character, with the barrels receiving optimal heat exposure and air circulation. This results in a bourbon that is bold, full-bodied, and layered, offering an exciting glimpse into the nuanced flavors that can emerge from the rickhouse’s unique conditions.
Limited in availability, Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson B is a must-have for bourbon collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate craftsmanship, tradition, and the complexity that comes from small-batch, location-specific aging.
