Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon

Nice flavor for go to bourbon

charr, wood, baking spices and alcohol. classic wild turkey

Spicy, bitter finish, can very much taste the 110 proof. Got really high expert reviews but not really my cup of tea. Drinkable but plenty of better bourbons in the same price range.

I got this from a generous giveaway when whiskies could be traded on Reddit. One of the stipulations was to also review the bourbon and post it on the r/Bourbon subreddit. I’ll be copying and posting over there as my first review on the subreddit. Setting: Neat in a glencairn wannabe, rested for 10 minutes, laying in bed with my wife and pups studying the Stave and Thief Society Bourbon Steward Guide. Nose: brown sugar, caramel and vanilla, ethanol and slight chocolate Palate: brown sugar and cinnamon spice, caramel and vanilla, Kentucky Hug going down, but no ethanol taste, some oak and fruit Overall: This is at least 8/10

Not as good as the standard 10 year.
