Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon

Nose: snickerdoodle, baking spice, bitter oak, some oak must. Body: good bite, vanilla, spice. i like the aged funk on this. toffee Medium long finish. honestly an amazing sipper for the price. its not cheap but best in class for its price.

Nose: cinnamon, bitter oak, graham crackers, vanilla, and ethanol. Palate: very delicate and sweet with notes of honey, baking spice, and oak. Got some good bite that an older aged bourbon normally would. If you could bottle liquid snickerdoodle cookies, that would be what this bottle is. Delicious.

TASTES: initially, there is some alcoholic heat to the taste, but that is quickly substituted by wonderful tastes of baking, spices, leather, cinnamon, caramel, and leather. FINISH: first off, there is no “burn” (aka “Kentucky Hug”), Put a wonderfully warm sensation of being in a intimate log cabin lodge during a snowstorm!! Ahh… smooth, warmth! At 110-proof this is an exceptional bourbon to taste, experience and, most importantly, to ebjoy!! The “kick” of higher-proof alcohol on the nose & the initial taste precludes me from giving this a “5-Star” rsting…. So i default to a 4.75. But, please feel free to usurp my rsting abd give it a “5-Star”!! Enjoy!
