Intro:
Russell's Reserve bourbon is a fairly well aged single barrel release from WT that is bottled at 55% ABV. This sample came in a swap well after my Gobble Til You Wobble Series which was nice. That was a lot of turkey. The break in between was refreshing.
-
Nose:
Calssic turkey spice and cinnamon. Caramel, clove and some faint orange zest.
-
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel, some heat. Caramel, clove and pepper and dominant notes. Lots of allspice.
-
Finish:
Medium length, hot and oaky. Orange is here with caramel, pepper and dry tannins.
-
Overall:
Overall, this was nice but far from remarkable. Its a standard, on-profile gobbler - which is never bad, but often not particularly exciting either. What it does, it does well.
