Barrel # 25-0738
Warehouse/Floor: CN-A/4 (Camp Nelson A)
Camp Nelson is a maturation campus owned/operated by Wild Turkey. It’s separate from their main distillery campus (Tyrone), and lies about a 45-minute drive away. The rickhouses at Camp Nelson are older wood/clad (tin-clad) structures, originally built for earlier distilleries before acquisition — not originally by Wild Turkey. These older warehouses tend to create a slower, steadier interaction between spirit and wood, resulting in a matured, subtly complex bourbon rather than a bomb of sweetness or barrel-strength beast.
