Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon

This is a “Hot One”. 110 Proof, so this guy packs a punch. I tried it neat and with a cube, and liked it with the cube better. Opens up the nose and is bursting with Oak Flavor, doesn’t finish with a ton of alcohol flavor. I liked it, not a daily drinker, but great for the nights you need to warm up. Fireside style.

Solid with lots of flavor, but a little hot for me. Enjoyed it more as a fresh crack than once it started oxidizing.

Really good pour, big bold flavors all around. The alcohol is present but not overpowering at all, I actually really enjoy it.
