Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel - REVIEW
Russell’s Reserve
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Single Barrel
Selected by The Whiskey U.N. for Dusty Barrel Spirits & Wine
Warehouse Tyrone M, 4th Floor
Aged 8 Years | 110 Proof
Distilled in Kentucky
A Whiskey U.N. pick from Wild Turkey’s Tyrone M warehouse, fourth floor: eight years, 110 proof, non-chill filtered.
Nose
Vanilla, nuts, and brown sugar, then oak and cinnamon. Creamy and toasted-sweet, not fruit-forward.
Palate
Spicy, bold, and deeply complex. Creamy toffee and vanilla at the core; licorice on a darker, slightly herbal edge. At 110 proof and non-chill filtered, the texture is richer than the number.
Finish
Sweet spice and a malty note.
Overall Impression
Vanilla-nut-brown-sugar bourbon with oak and cinnamon; toffee, licorice, and vanilla on the palate; sweet spice and malt on the finish. The warehouse floor is what makes this dump specific.
