Russell’s Reserve Single Rickhouse 2024 Camp Nelson B Bourbon Whiskey

All barrels from a single rickhouse. Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse 2024 — Camp Nelson Rickhouse B. Jimmy and Eddie Russell's most terroir-specific bourbon, demonstrating what one warehouse's unique aging environment produces when isolated from every other barrel on the property.

Russell's Reserve is the ultra-premium tier of Wild Turkey — Jimmy Russell and his son Eddie Russell's personal selection program, above the standard Wild Turkey lineup. The Single Rickhouse expression takes the single warehouse concept further than any Russell's Reserve release: every barrel in the blend comes from one specific rickhouse at the Camp Nelson facility, producing a bourbon whose character reflects the unique aging microenvironment of that specific structure.

Camp Nelson Rickhouse B is one of Wild Turkey's aging facilities at Camp Nelson, Kentucky. Rickhouse position — floor, warehouse orientation, construction material, proximity to heat sources and ventilation — profoundly affects how bourbon ages. Different floors and sections of the same rickhouse can produce meaningfully different bourbon. The Single Rickhouse concept documents what a specific building's entire character — all floors, all positions — produces when blended as a single warehouse statement. The 2024 Camp Nelson B is the annual selection from this program.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes a single rickhouse bourbon distinctive? Every rickhouse has a unique microenvironment: specific temperature cycling patterns, humidity levels, airflow, and structural characteristics that affect how barrels age differently in different positions. A single rickhouse blend captures one structure's complete aging character — upper floor heat-cycling concentration combined with lower floor slower development in one unified expression.
• How does Camp Nelson B 2024 compare to 2023 Camp Nelson F? The 2023 Single Rickhouse used Camp Nelson Rickhouse F; the 2024 uses Camp Nelson Rickhouse B. Different structures produce different aging microenvironments. Each year Wild Turkey selects a different rickhouse, making each annual release a unique document of that specific warehouse's character.
