A good dram, especially if you like high proof Bourbons. Having said that, of the two Russell"s Bourbons, I have a preference for the 10 over this one. There's just a slight bitter note on the palate and the finish of the Single Barrell. It doesn't feel out of place, nor does it overwhelm the other flavors. But it's not my thing I suspect that the bitter note comes from the rye in the mashbill; rye lovers may well be drawn to it. The 10 is more mellow, but still has many of same nice notes as the Single Barrell.
