Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon 16-454 (The Party Source)

Good flavor

Always enjoy Russel's. Very smooth from start to finish. Agree with everyone else best so far.

Nose: The best way I can describe this beauty is a Cherry Pillsbury Toaster Strudel. Rich cherry and dessert sweetness with a faint smokiness. Body: The nose notes are represented well on the palate. Rich caramel makes a strong showing, along with a dash of spice (but more of a cinnamon and less of a ‘rye spice’) Finish: What little “spice” the body has initially dissipates into smooth toasted bread and tofeeish flavor before turning into a pleasant warmth of rye spice and oak on the top of the tip of the tongue.

Nose: Big caramel, pepper, oak, mint, mixed berry, heat Mouth: Full, round, deep caramel, peppery spice, berry syrup, butter pastry, vanilla and powdered sugar. Finish: Pepper, warm all the way down. Nice hug. Minty fresh. The finish has great staying power. Overall: this is a very refined bourbon. It’s evident it’s age of 8-10 years. I love this bourbon.
