Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon

Nose - cherry, apple, bubble gum, cinnamon, spearmint, allspice, caramel, light vanilla, oak notes, mild to moderate ethanol burn. Taste - strong oak, cherry, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, spearmint, allspice, apple, burnt brown sugar, cola, bubble gum, rye spice, moderate alcohol burn, finishing medium length with brown sugar, caramel, and slightly minty flavors. Overall, it’s pretty good. Definitely better than the standard 10 year. However, I think the overpowering oak notes obscure some of the more nuanced beauty of the palate.

Nice mouthfeel. Nice amount of caramel flavor and subtle finish.

Good nose with a bit of cinnamon & oak coming through. Has a real kick to it at first and then a lovely vanilla/toffee taste

Mild corn dust, butter, light sugar on the nose. Slightly oily, some cinnamon and an alcohol burn that stays mostly up front. Fair amount of spice that lingers, even after diluted a touch.

Vanilla, barrel char, cinnamon, orange peel
