Russell's Reserve 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) 1967 black currant and incense characteristicsFrom Master Distiller Jimmy Russell and his son Eddie Russell, this tawny and full bodied whiskey evolves on the palate. At first, it features orange peel, vanilla and caramel, then dry leather and cocoa notes midpalate, and finishes long and lean with clove and allspice accents. Dilute to taste, sip slowly and consider all the complex flavors. Wine Enthusiast 92 points
