Released in October 2025, Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson E is the latest entry in the Single Rickhouse series, which blends barrels together from a single rickhouse on the Wild Turkey campus. For this edition, Master Blender Eddie Russell selected barrels exclusively from the fifth floor of the seven-story rickhouse Camp Nelson E. Bottled at a cask-strength 128 proof, this bourbon is the highest-proof Russell's Reserve release to date. Suggested retail price is $300.

Rich, decadent nose. Browned butter wafts forth, meeting caramel cake and a deliciously potent Luxardo cherry note. There's some subtle spice, as well: cinnamon, clove, sassafras.
This is a delectable, rich bourbon with a silky mouthfeel. More Luxardo cherry here, joined by oak and tannin, crème brûlée, pecan pie, browned butter and plenty of sassafras.
The finish is long, opening with deep, dark cherry syrup, which is soon followed by dark chocolate covered espresso beans, cinnamon, golden raisin, peach pie, oak and tannin.
A beautiful bourbon. It's rich, flavorful and perfectly balanced. The Wild Turkey distillery continues a phenomenal run after September's release of Master's Keep: Beacon, which stands atop my Bourbon of the Year rankings at the moment.
