Reviewed March 3, 2024 (edited March 5, 2024)I’m definitely going to be the outlier. Oddly, this wasn’t for me. I bought a tasting kit that had this plus a few other Russell samples. But admittedly, the only reason I bought the kit was for this sample. The bottle is so difficult to find, and if you do, it’s so expensive. I’ve seen it behind closed glass panes, priced well over $400. In retrospect, so glad I never bought one. Nose is fine—- caramel, vanilla, baking spice It’s the taste that fell apart for me. Just way too oaky and tannic, saccharin tasting. It’s as if this was past it’s prime. Wondering if the kits all got bad samples? Or maybe it’s degraded in quality vs the previous releases? Who know…but based on this pour, I’d not even pay $50 -

Reviewed January 15, 2024**BATCH 3** Nose - Very rich smelling. Deep sweet vanillas and caramels. Banana, strawberry, peanut and oak. Palate - Kind of savory and sweet. Some salty bread notes with spikes of candy. Theres some little rye spice notes and barrel char. Finish - Spice and char with sweet candied rye notes. Very comfortable and full. -
