Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon is crafted at the Wild Turkey Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, under the stewardship of legendary master distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell. Known for its bold character and depth, the Single Barrel expression highlights the distillery’s high-rye mash bill and traditional methods, with each barrel carefully chosen for its unique qualities.

The Fallbrook Liquor Private Selection represents a one-of-a-kind pick, chosen by the Fallbrook team directly from Wild Turkey’s rickhouses. Each private selection is bottled at barrel proof without chill filtration, allowing the individuality of the barrel to shine. Aged in heavily charred American oak, this bourbon typically shows deep amber color and layered complexity.

On the nose, it delivers rich caramel, dark cherry, and baking spice, accented by toasted oak. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, with flavors of vanilla, toffee, cinnamon, and rye-driven spice balanced by hints of leather and dried fruit. The finish is long and warming, marked by charred oak and lingering sweetness. Bottled at around 55% ABV, it has the strength to satisfy enthusiasts while retaining the smoothness that defines the Russell’s Reserve line.

This Fallbrook Liquor pick captures the best of both worlds: the heritage and consistency of the Russell family’s bourbon-making legacy, and the individuality of a single barrel chosen for its standout character. It’s a collector’s piece as much as it is a robust sipping bourbon, offering depth, tradition, and exclusivity in every pour.

Tasting Notes

This private selection of Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon captures the craftsmanship of the Wild Turkey distilling tradition with added individuality from Fallbrook Liquor’s pick. On the nose, it opens with rich layers of toasted oak, vanilla bean, and baking spices, underscored by hints of caramelized sugar and dried fruit. The palate is bold yet refined, offering flavors of dark toffee, roasted nuts, and a touch of leather, balanced with cinnamon and clove spice. Its higher proof gives a warm, full-bodied mouthfeel without overpowering the underlying sweetness. The finish is long, complex, and satisfying, carrying notes of charred oak and a lingering spice.

Food Pairings

The depth and strength of this bourbon invite pairings that stand up to its richness. As a starter, pair with charcuterie featuring prosciutto, smoked sausages, and aged gouda. For a main course, it complements grilled ribeye, barbecue brisket, or duck breast glazed with a cherry-bourbon reduction. With cheese, it works beautifully alongside sharp cheddar, blue cheese, or nutty aged gouda. For dessert, it finds harmony with pecan pie, dark chocolate truffles, or bread pudding with caramel sauce, where the sweetness and spice interplay with the bourbon’s character.

Russell’s Reserve

Russell’s Reserve is a high-esteem bourbon line made at the Wild Turkey Distillery, a family effort led by Eddie Russell and his father Jimmy. The Single Barrel line is one where each barrel is individually selected, bottled at higher proof, and aims to show both boldness and craft, with rich layers of flavor.

The Fallbrook Liquor Private Selection is one of those barrel picks—Fallbrook Liquor chose a specific barrel, lending the bottle its unique character shaped by that barrel’s aging history. Because it’s a private pick, it often delivers more distinctive aroma and taste details than standard releases. The proof tends to be high, oak influence pronounced, and flavor stronger—more depth, spice, vanilla, caramel, maybe dried fruit—all leaning into what Wild Turkey and Russell’s Reserve do best.

This expression combines the signature Wild Turkey backbone (oak char, toasted vanilla, rye spice) with the individuality private barrel selections bring. It’s not just about consistency—it’s about giving drinkers a chance to taste one barrel’s story.
