Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Private Barrel Selection

Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Select Bourbon Cask Strength (purchased privately in 2020) A robust Straight Bourbon Whiskey from the Wild Turkey Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, matured in American oak for over 9 years. It begins aromatically with hints of oak, cinnamon, spice, and vanilla; its rich and creamy character introduces notes of citrus, mint, cinnamon, oak, toffee, and honey; culminating in a long, warming finish with flavors of apple pie and oak.

[5.24.24] Celebrating Memorial Day weekend, by the lake, at a Michigan beach house where rentals are forbidden. This is the life. And hats off to our companions for hosting us for the night. Undeniably, the finest whiskey I've encountered in at least a year. This is the #22-0011, and I'd purchase the entire barrel. Effortless to drink, sipping like an 80 proof but delivering like a 100 proof. Smooth, sweet, and slightly fruity atop all the expected excellent flavors from the Russell's line.
