Tasting Notes

Russell’s Reserve 10 Year Old Bourbon is a small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey crafted under the expertise of Jimmy and Eddie Russell of Wild Turkey. Aged for a full decade in heavily charred American oak barrels, it delivers a classic, well-rounded profile. The nose opens with rich aromas of vanilla, caramel, and toffee accented by oak, baking spice, and dried fruit. On the palate, it is smooth and full-bodied, offering flavors of honey, toffee, roasted nuts, and cocoa balanced by cinnamon, clove, and subtle orange zest. The long aging imparts depth and maturity while keeping the bourbon approachable. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of caramel, oak, and spice.
