This is a fairly recent release as of the time of writing, which I'm hoping will be a little more consistent My mourning aside, the overall profile on this pour is a little simple to be considered extraordinary

The hype around this one still boggles my mind a little bit because I have had single barrel picks that the creamy mouthfeel but I find a small flash of sandalwood in the linger sometimes which scares me a little the batch 1 release: I thought the sandalwood note was unique to batch 2, but I do find it hidden in little It's incredible how similar the tasting notes ended up on this one when I look back at batch 1 now. I've also noticed today that both corks on the Russell's 13 releases are running a little looser than

It's time for a little Michter's Monday action, even if I'm starting late... With a little swirl there is oak sawdust, dry pepper, and black tea.

Late in the glass caramel swings in almost creamy, if it weren’t a little proofy. My only complaint is that the proof delivers a little too potent to really let the nuance of the glass

Right away it shows up a little young, with the rye grain being quite apparent. Hints of plastic are a true oddity for something with as little malt content as the stated mash bills

I've never been one for Larceny barrel proof personally, so I'm a little worried this might be another This is just a classic aged whiskey aroma; the soft red winter wheat may have been a little too soft A larger sip and swish reveal a touch more cinnamon than before, but little in the way of complexity.

At times the cherry sweets can turn a little medicinal and spicy which is a bit harsh on the palate. I'm finding this a little too spicy, which is quite surprising for the fill level. I actually think this would do wonders in my infinity bottle tonight, as I have been looking for a little

This reminds me a lot of what I love about Booker's 2019-03 Country Ham. Very little heat coming out of this glass - a very silky nose feel. Lemongrass, dusty bookshelves and ever so slight hints of mint dance about. empty glass also smells of spiced cherry (cinnamon), tons of gingerbread, and it reminds me of the little

A little bit of dusty funk I'd attribute to a fairly standard Russell's aroma. The oak finally has returned & brought with it a little of vanilla bean. I almost envision a strawberry dump cobbler in a Dutch oven over a bed of coals & a little ash/charcoal

Well, I'm a little late after St. Paddy's day getting this posted up. If you want a visual of what these 16 beauties look like on the counter, check out my introduction reel I would prefer to do individual head to head tastings, or a smaller blind flight, but this is a fun little

an instant & I'm left with a very thin after taste that exhibits some if the grain youth, but very little Looking back at the pour I actually think this is pretty solid. No aspirations of a 4/5 in my book, this is a solid 3.
