🥃🥃 Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Deep amber to mahogany with rich copper highlights, displaying the concentrated appearance expected from a powerful, mature Kentucky bourbon bottled at 120.8 Proof.
Aroma:
Rich and concentrated, with classic Russell's Reserve character centered around vanilla, caramelized sweetness, toasted oak, and warm baking spice. As the whiskey rests, deeper notes of dark fruit, brown sugar, barrel char, and seasoned wood emerge.
Palate:
Powerful, full-bodied, and deeply layered:
Caramel and brown sugar provide a rich foundation of sweetness
Vanilla contributes classic Kentucky bourbon character
Dark fruit introduces additional depth
Cinnamon and baking spices build through the mid-palate
Toasted oak reflects extended interaction with the barrel
Peppery spice balances the sweeter flavors
Barrel char contributes a darker, more savory dimension
The selection of barrels from multiple floors brings together different maturation environments within Camp Nelson D
120.8 Proof delivers exceptional concentration, viscosity, and intensity
A few drops of water help reveal additional sweetness and secondary aromas beneath the high proof
Finish:
Long, powerful, and warming, with lingering caramel, vanilla, baking spice, dark fruit, toasted oak, and barrel char gradually developing into a pleasantly dry, oak-driven conclusion.
With its 120.8 Proof bottling, barrels selected exclusively from Camp Nelson D, and place-driven philosophy, Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson D offers collectors and serious bourbon enthusiasts another fascinating opportunity to experience how a specific Kentucky rickhouse can leave its own signature on whiskey.
