Just finished the neat on this spirit...I noticed there was a bit of dill taste. (I finally recognized a flavor)...Since I am new to bourbon/whiskey collecting, I have struggled to get past the alcohol smell. Normally I can smell a burning electrical wire..a mile away...but whiskey/bourbon alludes me. SO....today is a milestone for me! This spirit was on sale at the local state ran store...I am happy to report....I would recommend Russell's to others, and share it with my non-shooting friends.
