Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon 16-454 (The Party Source)

Nose: This excellent spirit is best described as tasting like a Cherry Toaster Strudel. It has rich cherry and sweet dessert notes with a subtle smokiness. Body: The aromas translate well to the palate. Rich caramel is prominent, along with a touch of spice, more like cinnamon than a sharp rye spice. Finish: The initial subtle spice fades into smooth toasted bread and toffee-like flavors before a pleasant warmth of rye spice and oak emerges at the very top of the tongue.

Nose: Dominant caramel, pepper, oak, mint, mixed berry, and heat. Palate: Rich and full-bodied with deep caramel, peppery spice, berry syrup, buttery pastry, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Finish: Peppery and warming all the way down. A pleasant embrace. Minty freshness. The finish lingers impressively. Overall: This is a very polished bourbon, clearly aged for 8-10 years. I thoroughly enjoy this bourbon.

Always appreciate Russel's. Very smooth from start to finish. I concur with everyone else, best so far.

Solid taste
