Continuing a Legacy with the Russell’s Reserve Single Rickhouse Collection
In addition to the new 15-year-old bourbon, Russell’s Reserve enthusiasts will recall the recent release of the Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson F. This marked the second edition within the brand‘s Single Rickhouse collection, which began in 2022. This collection celebrates specific aging locations on the Wild Turkey campus, adding a distinct sense of place to each offering.
Why Russell’s Reserve 15-Year-Old is a Must-Have
Eddie Russell and his team have poured their passion into Russell’s Reserve, ensuring each bottle meets the highest standards.
