Russell's Reserve 10 Year Bourbon

Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Reviewed June 25, 2019 (edited August 27, 2019)
3.25
3.25 out of 5 stars
Not too terribly complex for being 10 years old, but still a damn good bourbon. I have a feeling that if they upped the proof on this it would shine so much more. Nose: buttered southern style biscuits, with slight hints of cinnamon and brown sugar. All of this is wrapped in a blanket of fresh cut oak and tad drop of either maple or cane sugar (can’t quite decide) Taste: sugary barrel tannins right off the bat. Fades into sweet fruits (cherry, mandarins oranges, and slight melon). The finish is very sweet. I don’t get much more on the finish than just sweet white granulated sugar. The more I drank the glass, the more the finish got bitter. I really feel like if they kicked this proof up to 100 the flavors would come out a lot more. They’re enjoyable but they’re just on the cusp of being great. However, the nuance is still there. Solid bourbon that I’ll definitely be coming back to in the future.
