Description
Russell’s Reserve Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson D 2026 is an extraordinary limited-edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and the fifth installment in the prestigious Russell’s Reserve Single Rickhouse Collection. Expertly crafted under the direction of legendary Master Distiller Eddie Russell, this exceptional release showcases the profound influence that a single aging warehouse can have on the character, complexity, and flavor of a bourbon.
Bottled at a bold 120.8 proof (60.4% ABV) and non-chill filtered, this barrel-proof expression is produced from a carefully selected small batch of barrels matured exclusively inside Camp Nelson Rickhouse D, a historic warehouse constructed in 1946.
Positioned at one of the highest elevations on the Camp Nelson property, Rickhouse D benefits from its exposed western location and consistent airflow. These distinctive aging conditions contribute to an unusually complex bourbon characterized by rich fruit flavors, warming spices, and an unexpected rye-like intensity.
For the 2026 release, Eddie Russell and his team selected barrels from five different floors of the rickhouse, including the rarely utilized first floor. This meticulous selection created a remarkably distinctive flavor profile, balancing traditional bourbon sweetness with bold notes of cinnamon, pepper, and seasoned oak.
The release also holds special significance as it commemorates Eddie Russell’s 45th anniversary with Wild Turkey Distilling Co. Camp Nelson D was the first rickhouse where Russell worked during his early years at the distillery, making this expression a meaningful tribute to his remarkable career and dedication to Kentucky whiskey craftsmanship.
