Russell's Reserve 13 Year Bourbon (2021 Release)

Like the best RR single barrel pick youve ever had

Batch 2 review (LL/JL) Nose: sugar cookie. Hints of licorice. Confectionary sweetness, almost like a frosting. Subtle pop of oak at the end. nose is layered and robust. Palate: oily mouthfeel. Spiciness from the high rye. Leather and dusty oak come in followed by an awesome chocolate note. Finish: dusty oak and leather. Stront dark chocolate note. Finish doesnt last as much as i would like. Overall: oak + wild turkey distillate is a great combo. Oak is certainly present but not as over powering as batch 3. Wish the finish was a good bit stronger. Rating: 8 on the t8ke scale
