Barrel 17-342, rickhouse B, floor 6 59 1.
N: Typical Wild Turkey oaken cinnamon nutmeg blend and brown sugar burst, while maple and toffee follow closely behind with a bit of herbal mint.
P: Cinnamon, vanilla, brown sugar, toffee, maple, nutmeg, and hints of mint.
F: Toasted oak, nutmeg, anise.
I enjoyed this quite a bit. It checks just about all of the boxes. It blends sweetness and spice together very well. It packs heavy doses of maple and toffee. The Russell Reserves are usually very good, and this is no exception. Rickhouse B has a reputation for churning out some fantastic single barrel’s. While this does fall short of fantastic; it does qualify as very good.
