Distillery Notes:
Crafted in the birthplace of bourbon with techniques dating back to pre-Prohibition, Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon is matured in the deepest No. 4 alligator char barrels. Individually bottled at 110 proof and non-chill filtered to guarantee maximum flavor, each barrel has its own personality yet still captures our signature toffee and vanilla tones. Rich oaky notes meet an intense spiciness, which creates a robust taste that is best experienced right out of the bottle.

Awards/Reviews:
Best Bourbon - Breaking Bourbon 2021
"In the never-ending quest for good bourbon, it’s important to be reminded that a bourbon doesn’t have to be new, flashy, or constantly in your face to be good. This year Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel reminded us of that. A spinoff Wild Turkey brand, Russell’s Reserve has been around for years, it’s the cherry on top of Wild Turkey Distillery’s ice cream sundae of bourbon offerings. It checks all of the right boxes in their tight range of offerings - single barrel, high proof, and relatively high age. Most importantly, Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel holds its own as a consistently great bourbon despite an onslaught of new bourbons into the marketplace."

“A good strong nose of sweet oak, vanilla, and cherry leads to a chocolate fudge palate with a spicy kick. So much fun!”

"Moody, deep amber in color, this private, single barrel non-chill filtered whiskey is all business. Initially bright and peppery, the whiskey soon melts into its savory, meaty, full bodied form. A welcome floral bouquet of black tea, bergamot, freshly grated nutmeg and vanilla been lingers both on the nose and palate and the whiskey sails away into a long finish."
"Clean on the palate, with honey-kissed citrus, summer fruits, crisp mint, and cinnamon, balanced by creamy vanilla and soft toffee. A solid bourbon that’s nicely rounded and vibrant. It’s very much with the current trend of American whiskeys toward no age statement; youthful and playful in nature, and versatile." - Whisky Advocate
