Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey
Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is Wild Turkey at full voice: Kentucky straight bourbon from a single hand-selected barrel, bottled non-chill filtered at 110 proof (55% ABV) in this 750mL bottle — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Hand-selected by the legendary father-and-son duo Jimmy and Eddie Russell — with over a century of combined distilling experience — each barrel comes from Wild Turkey's 75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley mash, aged in new American oak with a deep No. 4 "alligator" char on the distillery's prized center-cut rickhouse floors. Every barrel is its own bottling: same recipe, unique personality.
Tasting notes: vanilla, nuts, brown sugar, oak, and cinnamon on the nose; creamy toffee, licorice, vanilla, and bold rye spice on the palate; long finish of sweet spice and malty oak.
Why buy the Single Barrel? Because 110 proof, non-chill filtered, single barrel is the most honest format bourbon comes in — and the Russells' barrel picks are the benchmark. Compare with other bourbon, explore the Russell's Reserve brand collection, and browse all whisky.
