Russell's Reserve Private Barrel 10 Year Selection

Handpicked. One barrel. Zero copies.

Russell’s Reserve Private Barrel 10 Year is a single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon personally selected from the Wild Turkey rickhouses. Each barrel ages at least 10 years and is bottled from that specific barrel only — no blending, no smoothing out the edges, just pure character.

This is that “you can’t just walk into any store and buy this exact bottle” kind of bourbon. Every pick is unique.

Why you’ll love it

• Private barrel selection: chosen for standout flavor from a single barrel

• 10 years old for real maturity, oak depth, and complexity

• Kentucky straight bourbon heritage from the Russell family

• Collector-friendly and giftable for serious whiskey drinkers

• Built for sipping, not mixing (unless you’re intentionally flexing)

Tasting notes

(Exact profile varies barrel to barrel, but typical notes are:)

• Nose: Deep caramel, vanilla bean, orange peel, toasted oak

• Palate: Brown sugar, toffee, baking spice, roasted nuts, a little dark cherry

• Finish: Long, warm, and layered with sweet oak and cinnamon

• Body: Full and rich, with that Russell’s signature rickhouse heat

How to serve

• Neat in a Glencairn or rocks glass to concentrate aroma

• Over a single large cube if you want to open up more vanilla and honey

• Save cocktails for something else unless you’re doing an ultra-premium Old Fashioned on purpose

Perfect pairings

• Smoked brisket, grilled ribeye, charred pork chops

• Sharp cheddar, aged gouda, or blue cheese

• Pecan pie, dark chocolate, candied walnuts

• End-of-night “let’s pour something special” moments

FAQs

What does “Private Barrel” mean?
Private Barrel means this bottle came from one specific barrel that was individually selected. No blending with other barrels. Once that barrel is gone, that exact flavor profile is gone.

Is this the same as Russell’s Reserve 10 Year off the shelf?
No. Standard Russell’s Reserve 10 Year is a batched bourbon. The Private Barrel Selection is from an individual barrel that was specifically chosen because it stood out.
