Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Select – Camp Nelson A, Floor 4, 110 proof
110 proof 9 years (dumped January 12, 2023; barreled April 2013) Bourbon Wild Turkey Lawrenceburg, KY $97.99 75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley (high-rye mashbill)

English toffee, caramel, honey with aromatic fruitiness—citrus, floral notes, plum, and raisin jam. Well-aged rick house oak character with no young corn sweetness.

Lack of upfront sweetness followed by a wash of aromatic dark fruit—fig and plum. Citrusy departure on the back end. Viscous mouthfeel with caramel and vanilla notes, though more pronounced are the dark fruits. Cinnamon and black pepper spice.

Exceptionally long and lingering. Cinnamon, black pepper, and a distinctive Good and Plenty licorice candy note on the tail.

Excellent
A masterfully aged, fruit-forward single barrel with an extraordinarily long and complex finish that justifies its premium price point.
