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.

The batch is made up of four production dates that were aged in five different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker's “Ronnie's Batch” is as follows: 4% came from the 3rd floor of 7-story warehouse 5, 7% came from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse D, 15% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse 1, 26% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q, 48% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Z. This batch has a nice color and a rich vanilla aroma with hints of brown spice that you can enjoy even before your first sip. The whiskey has a sweet taste that comes from the time spent aging in our unique Kentucky climate. It was a brisk, cold day when I selected this batch, but the warm and pleasant finish make it an ideal pour as we leave behind these cooler months. I know my father would be so proud to name this batch after Ronnie, as he was sure to make Booker's just like Dad wanted.
