Inside the Episode

$70 single barrel selected by Jimmy and Eddie Russell. From the Camp Nelson warehouse. Chosen specifically for the Bourbon Connoisseur. And Crystal hasn't missed a pick in a long time. 🥃Crystal and Roger crack open Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit — barrel 4012, warehouse CND (Camp Nelson), rick number 12, bottled November 7th, 2025. 101 proof. 8.5 to 9.5 years aged. Limestone filtered. And at $69.99, Roger called it a steal before he even opened it.Then they tasted it. Bold. Rich mahogany color. Deep vanilla and oak on the nose. Slight nuttiness, toffee, a little cherry, and that unmistakable Wild Turkey signature that Roger says you learn to recognize after enough pours. It sips like an 80 proof and holds up for everything — neat, gifted, or shared at a bourbon party.This is bourbon's bourbon. No finishes. No gimmicks. Just Jimmy Russell doing what he's done for over 60 years. And if you find a bottle from Camp Nelson warehouse at $70 — you already know what to do.
