[5.25.2024] A much-earned (by the family) family trip to Michigan led to a lakehouse visit with some of our favorites. Turns out we share a love for Russell's and broke out a sip of this treasure. This is a bit stiff (think like that raw bite of Stagg Jr.) but I think thats the point. A touch salty brings to mind horse harness sweat leaching through the leather. Oak is more of an aged barrel than that raw greenness coming through in some younger renditions. A solid drink but the right Russell's Single Barrel can trump it.
