Russell's Reserve 6 Year Old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 750mL

This 6-year-old rye represents the Russells’ take on the perfect small batch rye whiskey. Older than most other rye whiskies, Russell’s Reserve 6 Year Old is crafted from hand-selected barrels from the center cut of the rickhouse, bottled at 90 proof.

Complex and spicy, the Russell’s Reserve 6 Year Old Rye delivers a lively taste profile of citrus zest and subtle caramel with a black pepper finish.

Tasting Notes:

Colour: Deep mahogany.

Aroma: Robust nose with notes of roasted almonds, vanilla, caramel, and cinnamon.

Taste: Complex allspice, pepper, and almond flavors.

Finish: Smooth, long and lingering with rye spice and dried fruit.

"Fresh and grain-forward on the nose, with orange slices, lemon peel, and a hint of pineapple. Very sweet and honeyed on the front palate with chocolate custard, pepper spice, and toasted oak, accented by bright notes of fresh citrus. A mid-length finish offers the sweetness of lemon cream pie and lots of spice at the back. Steady and flavorful progression of balanced sweetness and spice, a rock-solid rye." - David Fleming, Whisky Advocate (90 Points)

""Look up "rye whiskey" in the dictionary and this should be what comes up first because it's one of the most rye-ish whiskeys out there. It really smells and tastes like rye bread, with maybe more spice (sweet baking ones as well as peppery) on the palate. It's balanced by sweeter flavors and subtle oakiness. Really great drop for the price point." - Amanda Schuster, Distiller (90 Points)
