The Russell's Reserve 8-Year-Old Straight Bourbon Single Barrel Private Barrel Selection is a testament to the art of bourbon making. Bottled at 110 proof (55% ABV), this bourbon exhibits a coppery red color. The nose is greeted with inviting aromas of vanilla, sweet cream, nutmeg, honey, and oak. On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of cherry, vanilla, clove, caramel, and cola flavors. The finish is medium-long, leaving lingering notes of toffee, baking spice, pepper, and sweet oak. Each barrel possesses its own distinct personality, providing a unique tasting experience. This bourbon pairs exceptionally well with rich, flavorful dishes such as grilled steaks, smoked ribs, and barbecue.
