Russell's Reserve 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Distillery Notes:
Legendary bourbon-makers Jimmy and Eddie Russell use their vast knowledge to craft this 10-year-old classic. Aged in No. 4 alligator char barrels and bottled at 90 proof, this small-batch bourbon has spicy vanilla flavors and a smooth finish. The intense oak woody-ness of Russell’s Reserve® allows it to stand up to the bold flavor combinations of Campari® and rich sweet vermouth in the Boulevardier.

Awards/Reviews:

94 Points, Great Value - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2022

"This whiskey shows an assertive bouquet of cinnamon candy, freshly ground black pepper, creamed corn, and wood smoke. On tasting, bold flavors continue and are deftly balanced by soothing, sweet tones of candied pecan and toasted vanilla."

Gold - Ascot Awards 2022

“Light, leathery nose with dark cherry leads to tobacco and oak flavors with a nice sweetness and a touch of cola.”

Double Gold - SF World Spirits Competition 2021

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

"From 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."

Best Bourbons Under $50 - Breaking Bourbon

"A tremendous value for those seeking a higher-aged and lower-proof bourbon from one of the nation's best distilleries." 

"The nose tickles with caramel, spice, vanilla, and earthiness, with just a hint of balsamic vinegar.  Warming. Coated with spices, ranging from cinnamon to allspice and from coffee to nutmeg. Eventually, patented caramel and vanilla, with a fun hint of cardamom. Long, enjoyable finish." - Whisky Advocate
