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.

This batch is made up of four production dates that were aged in four different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker's “Pinkie's Batch” is as follows: 47% came from the 3rd floor of 7-story warehouse Z, 36% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 1, 11% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse X, 6% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q. The color of this batch is a rich, golden amber that really shines when you hold it up to the light and admire the glass you've poured. The aroma is balanced with brown spice and vanilla notes, which gives you a preview of the taste. When you first sip it, your mouth is filled with Booker's signature vanilla flavor, and it leaves you with a lingering well-rounded finish. I know my dad and grandad would have enjoyed this batch over a football game, and I'm very proud to name this batch in honor of my granddad, Frederick Booker Noe.
