This is a rich and balanced Bourbon with aromas of caramelized sugar, orange peel, and toasted vanilla, followed with flavors of toffee, cinnamon spice, and candied pecans. A great finish of baking spice, charred oak, and a touch of dry leather. It comes from the Tyrone Campus Warehouse F on the 4th floor, considered the sweet spot!
The Tyrone campus refers to one of the core rickhouse and distilling sites used by Wild Turkey in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. It's where many of the most prized Russell’s Reserve single barrels come from. These are wooden/clad aging buildings dating back to the early 20th century. The 4th floor is often regarded as a sweet spot for aging: it balances oak influence and interaction with rickhouse microclimate, resulting in flavorful but not overly “woody” bourbon. Being near the river and higher in elevation, it experiences distinct temperature swing. Perfect conditions for aging this amazing Bourbon.
