Russell’s Reserve 10 Year vs Single Barrel: What’s the Difference?

Updated April 2026.

These are two Russell’s Reserve Kentucky straight bourbons from Wild Turkey / Campari. The 10 Year is commonly 90 proof (45% ABV) on US labels. Single Barrel is commonly barrel-proof in the 110 class, batch-specific. A 1.5-ounce pour is 1.13 vs about 1.38 if 55%. Not a 2022 winner. Mash percentages unpublished.
