Neat. Neck pour. Party Source 9 year pick. Nose is incredible right off the bat. Fruit forward. Strawberries and apples. Oak and caramel. Vanilla. Pie crust. Hint of nuttiness. It’s the fruits that are blowing me away tonight.
Nice, oily texture. Strawberries, apple with brown sugar all over the tongue. Oh damn, that’s good. Caramel blast transitions to vanilla and leaves you with the pie crust on the legs. Legs last awhile and transition to a dry peanut. That nutty note is becoming more and more predominant as time goes on.
What a great pour. Best Russell’s Reserve pick I have had yet. I might even put this in a blind flight of my favorite 2019 purchases.
