Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel – Jacob Liquor Exchange Pick  (Reviewed by Scott Hill, Chris Crow and Jay Cary in November, 2017)

Nose: Chocolate; toffee; over-roasted coffee beans; heavy acetone burn; butter; hard butterscotch candy; prune.  Decent, but we struggle to find the additional layers beyond the acetone burn and the chocolate, toffee and coffee bean.

Palate: Spicier generally than many of the other Russell’s Reserve Single Barrels, with more heat; not complex; burning and bitter; vanilla; a little toffee; red cherry; baking chocolate dark tanic wine at the end of the palate.

Finish: Medium, but the only thing that really lingers is burn; baking chocolate and spice, but overshadowed by heat.
