I have procrastinated in posting this review hoping and waiting for my opinion to change. Sadly, it has not. I'm a big fan of the Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon and was really excited to enjoy this. First glass, must be a "neck pour"... Second glass. I must be in a bad mood. Couple months later as I've continued sipping on the bottle. Muted, uninspired and lifeless. Nothing stands out to really comment on. I will finish the bottle and go forward in life disappointed.
