Russell's Reserve 2003 16 year old Kentucky Straight, 44.75%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2021 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
Cooked cherries, cherry cough drops, raspberry, vanilla, dried banana chips, and old attic on the nose. The palate's texture is smooth, with undertones of spice and rich overtones of chocolate, blackberry jam, toasted almonds, zabaione, cinnamon, and pepper, against mature but balanced oak. A spiced finish offers blackberry, vanilla, cinnamon, and tobacco. Richly herbal, with deep fruit and chocolate, and balanced maturity. (Collectible)
