Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon

This is my final pour of my bottle of Russell's Reserve sib, which is actually a Total Wine store pick. The nose is strong ethanol and burnt caramel. On the palate I get the classic Wild Turkey notes, but richer. I pickup on vanilla and toffee, similar to the taste of Rare Breed. It's plenty sweet from beginning to end, and the finish is warm and spicy. These Russell's single barrels are very popular right now and not as available as they were in the past. I enjoyed my bottle a lot, but it's not one I just have to have on my shelf.

Strong vanilla, toffee smell from the nose. Oak scents and a little smoky flavor when first sipped and leaves a very leathery sweet texture in the palate. Surprisingly not that strong considering it's 55% but would've loved it if it was a little more spicy. Enjoyed very much.

Excellent. Buy it and Enjoy! Nose: hairs need trimming. Palate: cleft. Finish: yes I’m finished.
