Single Barrel Bourbon Program 110 

Russell’s Reserve Private Single Barrel Reserve Bourbon is a premium Kentucky straight bourbon that highlights the distinctive character of a single barrel chosen for its exceptional depth and balance. Crafted under the guidance of the Russell family and the Wild Turkey team, this bottle offers a unique tasting experience that showcases the impact of barrel selection on flavor nuance and complexity.

On the nose, it opens with rich aromas of caramelized brown sugar, vanilla bean, toasted oak, and warm spice, with subtle hints of apricot and citrus peel. The palate is bold and layered, offering flavors of honeyed toffee, cinnamon, charred oak, and toasted nuts, supported by a creamy mouthfeel and lingering notes of spice. A touch of dried fruit and soft tobacco adds extra dimension without overpowering the classic bourbon profile.

The finish is long, warming, and satisfying, with lingering oak, vanilla, and peppery spice that invites slow sipping and contemplation. Bottled at 55% ABV (110 proof) in a 750 ml format, Russell’s Reserve Private Single Barrel Reserve Bourbon is a standout choice for customers who appreciate the individuality and nuance that come from barrel-specific expression.

Cask Program:
This bourbon is matured in new, charred American oak barrels with a heavy char level (alligator)—a hallmark of the Wild Turkey style. Unlike batch-blended expressions, this release comes from a single selected barrel, with no secondary finishing, allowing the unique combination of the barrel’s wood influence, warehouse conditions, and aging time to define the flavor profile. Each barrel’s distinct characteristics shine through, making every private barrel release a special and collectible expression.
