This particular bottle was a Total Wine barrel pick with Eddie Russel himself. Ran about $5 more than the shelf bottles so it was a no brainer.
The nose starts out peanut shells at fist but with a minute in the glass molasses, zesty fruitcake with toasted nuts and dried fruit. The nose is rich and warming, like hot maple syrup and pancakes.
This is smooth as can be on the front with burn on the back that relaxes to a long, playful finish. There is a lot of sweet vanilla up front and cinnamon and nutmeg in the back with oak and orange peel.
Every step is an experience that transports me to a crisp fall day. Somehow I’m warm on the inside with a mouth and nose bursting with excitement that rolls from one flavor to the next and back again.
Pricy but 100% worth it. This is a bottle I will miss.

Possibly my favorite Bourbon when factoring price in the mix. This is a big experience of the senses. The nose was full of cinnamon, vanilla, char and even ripe berries. The palette was a repeat of the aromas in a silky smooth mouthfeel with an extremely long finish.

Look... there are so many retailers jumping on this stuff putting ridiculous cartoon stickers and slap stick names on these bottles. Bottom line up front, it’s F’n good stuff and it doesn’t have to have some nonsense nickname to prove it. Let the idiot taters on the secondary market seek out the “exclusive” bottles and the rest of us can scoop up all the great RR left behind.
