Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse
Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Bourbon, part of the Single Rickhouse Collection, is a limited-release bourbon that explores the influence of a specific rickhouse on the whiskey's flavor profile. Each release in the collection is crafted from barrels aged in a single rickhouse, offering a unique taste experience based on its location. For example, the Camp Nelson B release is known for its high proof (120.2) and notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and cherry. The Camp Nelson F release offers aromas of oak, vanilla, and sweet cream, transitioning to cinnamon, spice, and floral notes on the nose, with flavors of cherry, raisin, and dark honey on the palate, followed by a finish of spice, mature oak, char, and pepper. The Camp Nelson C release, the inaugural release, is rich and decadent, with a unique blend of flavors derived from its optimal center cut floors.

Nose: Intense, aromatic layers of French vanilla, rich cherry pie filling, and deep rickhouse oak mingle with hints of blackberry jam and baking spices.
Palate: A thick, syrupy mouthfeel delivers robust flavors of cola, baked brown sugar, cinnamon, barrel-aged medicinal cherry, and creamy caramel.
Finish: Long and savory, leaving a lingering, complex trail of singed molasses, charred oak, toasted tobacco, and antique leather.

Baker's Single Barrel 13 Year Old
In October 2019, Jim Beam announced Baker's would undergo a packaging redesign and transition to single barrel, exclusively. The standard version would maintain its 107 proof and 7 year age statement. Additionally, a 13 year old version, also single barrel and 107 proof, would be released in limited quantities. This 13 year old version is Baker's first ever limited edition. In addition to the new bottle design, the 13 year old is released with a gift box.

Part of the Beam Suntory family of brands.
Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.

Nose: Summer fruit combines with caramel chews, vanilla, and a dash of cinnamon to form the base of aromas. Traces of barrel char and musty funk weave in and out, hinting towards the bourbon's age. Ethanol is present at first, but given adequate time in the glass, dissipates entirely allowing the aromas to come through with more force.
Palate: An immediate pop of rye spice is followed by a rush of raisins, caramel, and summer fruits. Leather, seasoned oak, and barrel char manifest beneath a layer of toasted marshmallow. It's just the right amount of intensity and the sweet-spice-oak balance is on point.
Finish: Allspice and musty oak are countered with a caramel-butterscotch sweetness. The finish becomes a bit dry as it lingers. The spice and sweet flavors serve the bourbon well, keeping the wood flavors in check while nicely showcasing the bourbon's age. Enjoyable overall.
