Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon

sweet, brown sugar, spice box. Mellow but lingering heat. Delicious!

Gordon's Private Barrel Barrel 0275 Rickhouse A Floor 4 Deep copper color. Nose has a lot of burnt caramel, Juicy Fruit chewing gum, cinnamon and browned butter. Mouthfeel is a little lighter than I would like, but not watery. Palate is hot and spicy with a lot of cinnamon and nutmeg, and a big up-front dose of oak tannins. It's quite grain-forward with very little sweetness driven by a little brown sugar toward the back end. Finish is medium-long, dry and oak-heavy.
