Russell's Reserve
Tasting Notes
In the world of bourbon, Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse 2024 stands out as a true testament to the art of whiskey-making. This exceptional spirit, drawn entirely from the sixth floor of a storied rickhouse at the Wild Turkey Distilling Co., showcases the profound influence of barrel-resting conditions on a whiskey's character. With a barrel proof of 120.2, it's not only the highest-proof entry in the Collection to date but also the highest-proof Russell's Reserve bottling ever released. The aroma captivates with notes of oak, vanilla, and sweet cream, seamlessly transitioning to the enticing aromas of cinnamon, spice, and floral hints. On the palate, flavors of cherry, raisin, and dark honey take center stage, eventually giving way to herbal notes of clove, spearmint, and thyme. The long, lingering finish is a harmonious blend of spice, mature oak, char, and peppery notes, leaving a lasting impression on the senses. This limited-edition bourbon is a true masterpiece, highlighting the often-overlooked role of rickhouses in shaping a whiskey's exquisite character.
