I have had the unbelievable good fortune to taste on multiple occasions with Eddie Russell, the legend behind Wild Turkey & Russell’s Reserve. As the saying goes, that guy has probably forgotten more about Whiskey than most people will ever know.
The first time we were in the Rickhouse going from barrel to barrel, I swear I thought he was messing with me. It must have been over 100 barrels. Halfway through I realized what was happening. He was separating with me the barrels that he wanted to mark for his “single barrel” program & the ones that he wanted to blend together for his 10-year Reserve.
One of the newer and more interesting items in the Russell’s catalog is their 6-year Reserve Rye. As always, this is a pretty special and fairly unique blend that doesn’t get mailed in like some do with their Rye. It seems like there’s a formula. But Eddie and Jimmy Russell don’t follow the crowd, they blaze their own trail which is why I think this Rye sings, especially at this great price. It’s kind of like a hybrid between a high rye bourbon and a traditional rye. Either way, it’s expressive, it’s smooth and has great notes of vanilla, spice, lemon zest, caramel and black pepper. How could a Rye this good be under $40?!?

This is a very rare single barrel Bourbon Whiskey to make its way to Jersey. Maple syrup, butterscotch, caramel & brown sugar with a palate of caramel apple, roasted almond, ripe banana and graham crackers. This one has a full mouthfeel with a nice creamy middle. The finish here lingers with just the right amount of burn. This was born on 2/3/2017 and bottled at 102 Proof. This is a great bottle of Whiskey.
Bulleit isn’t usually one to come out with too many new or limited releases, but the ‘Frontier’ Limited Release bucks that trend. This American Single Malt was made with 100% malted barley, aged in new American spiced oak casks, and bottled at 43% alcohol. It hits with notes of freshly baked pumpernickel bread, candied orange, dried fruits, and maple syrup. She’s a beauty – just wish I had more to sell!
Basil Hayden’s Kentucky Straight Bourbon is one of those go-to entry level whiskies that you can always count on to deliver. A product of the Beam Distilling Co., the Kentucky Straight checks in at 80 Proof and has a robust, rich flavor that hits you in waves. Charred oak, with notes of honey, caramel and fresh baked bread flood the senses with a brown sugar dominant palate that also features creme brulee notes and a hint of pepper. The finish goes on for a while, and leaves lingering notes of dried fruit, and cocoa.
True whiskey and Knob Creek enthusiasts are going to go nuts for this one. Knob Creek Rye is as outstanding as it is rare but today we’re lucky enough to bring to you, my own single barrel of it. This is a big gold expression of Rye that holds nothing back. On the nose, there are hints of dill, rye and essence of charred oak. On the palate, you are hit over the head with baking spice, honey and freshly baked bread. The finish is certainly a warm “Kentucky Hug” that goes on forever.
