Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Russell's Reserve Single Barrel is one barrel of Wild Turkey at 110 proof, non-chill-filtered — the bottle enthusiasts rank at the very top of Turkey's range, named for Jimmy and Eddie Russell, the father-and-son master distillers with more than a century at the distillery between them. Wild Turkey is the Lawrenceburg, Kentucky distillery that never changed its recipe — 75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley, one of the lowest barrel-entry proofs in the business at 115, and the deepest #4 alligator char — and Russell's Reserve is the Russells' premium line, launched 2001. The Single Barrel takes one barrel, typically eight to ten years old, from the center of the Lawrenceburg rickhouses, and bottles it at 110 proof without chill filtration — the house says each barrel has its own personality yet captures the signature rich, creamy toffee and vanilla. Expect the Wild Turkey signature at full weight: a nose of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and cherry with the rye's spice, a rich, creamy palate of toffee, brown sugar, baking spice, and leather, and a long, warm finish of oak and pepper. Honest note: this is the Wild Turkey bourbon geeks buy by the case and pick private barrels from — the best sub-$70 single barrel in Kentucky, and the one to hand a Blanton's hunter. Neat, a drop of water. Russell's Reserve, one barrel.
