Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon 25-0765 - 21K F&F

Oak shavings, peanut skins, kettle corn, dried stone fruits and almond are all present in the nose. The palate opens with a distinct note of green apple skins, and then evolves to echo the nose with peanut skins, a bit of cherry pits, creme brulee, kettle corn, and delicate oak notes. As it opens up in the glass, the fruit tones become juicier, verging on tropical and a creamy, flan-like note emerges. The proof is quite well integrated and the balance between fruit, sweet, & oak notes is quite well done. – D&M Staff Tasting Notes August 2026
