Crazy, watched this video the night before going to the distillery and picking up a bottle. The best part Jimmy was there and he signed the bottle for me. He is definitely still doing his thing at Wild Turkey. Really enjoying these leaf and barrel episodes, great video

[@mrplow3874]

Did you drink it or shelf it?

[@weaver7155]

@@mrplow3874 I drunk it, all my whiskey is open

[@travisjohnson4851]

Love where you're going with this show.

[@coreybaute7098]

I know this video is 2 years old, but I was in the same boat as you. A bourbon guy tried a lot but had not had Russel's single barrel before. I 100 percent agree this bourbon is great. It stands out in a very large field of contenders. Def one of my favorites now. I also agree on the Rare Breed a great find.

[@ZackJustice]

Jeremy, your lounge is what dreams are made of. Well done.

[@shaftymcnasty]

Been able to find one bottle for 65. Had one pour and don't want to drink any more til I can find another bottle. The best I've had so far

[@TheMashandDrum]

This is my #1 go to bourbon. Love it. It's amazing for the price. Non chill filtered. Full flavored. Lots of orange and cinnamon. Plus the picks can be amazing

[@JeremySiers]

It really is soooo good, love it. Can’t believe I ignored it for so many years. I’ve heard the store picks are great! I keep my eyes peeled but haven’t been able to snag one yet. Cheers brother 🥃

[@stevemac1956]

Russel’s Single Barrel is one of my favorites... a couple drops of water or a large ice ball that I pour the whiskey over and then remove... cheers

[@whiskeylino5669]

When I first tired Russell’s reserve, I thought to myself this would taste great on its own, been drinking whiskey neat ever since (about 3 years ago). Just a great bourbon.

[@richardiandoli7437]

This is definitely one of my favorite bourbons along with ECBP, Old Forester 1920 and 1910, and Knob Creek Single Barrell. Nice review.

[@HieronymousLex]

Absolutely agreement from me. Knob Creek SB, Old Forester 1920, and Russell’s are my go to’s. Haven’t been able to grab an ECBP yet but you best believe I will

[@mitchilito99]

@@HieronymousLex Could NOT have said it better myself

[@patrickprosser8227]

I'm a scotch drinker but a friend gave me a bottle of this burbon. Holy cow, this is some damned fine bourbon.

[@cryptojarrod6724]

I’m a scotch drinker myself. What’s your favorite scotch?

[@BourbonJunkies]

Pulled the ole double drop and now I have to pick which video i'm going to watch first... Forcing my hand with hard decisions! I'm telling you, this bottle is a hell of a bottle and makes perfect sense in my head for pairing sake. You and me are proof brothers dude, I love that range you mentioned. Cheers man! I may have to pour this now...

[@JeremySiers]

Lol, watch whiskey then cigar. It really works either way, but I shoot them in that order. Yeah man, that proof range is a real sweet spot. Full of flavor, great “mouth feel 🤢” that phrase just kills me, but not so much proof it knocks your teeth out. 👍🏻 Looking forward to shooting the shit with you guys soon. We gotta set up a FaceTime call and talk whiskey and cigars. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@timwood3840]

Love Russell Reserve, one of my go to’s for an easy sipper. Try holding the bottle closer to the bottom for the drip twist, that’s what I find easier. I’ve got big mitts so trying to twist a bottle can be difficult! lol.

[@jarrettjordan]

Can’t go wrong with a good Wild Turkey: 101, Russell’s, Rare Breed, Kentucky Spirit...

[@TheProgrn]

I got spice, oak, and vanilla on the nose. Palette was Spivey, sweet, oaky, with some vanilla. After you mentioned orange peal I could taste it too. The ABV does give it some burn on the finish. I felt it on my tongue for awhile.

[@TheHeadman]

Just had a sample at our local liquor store ... wow... It is very tasty. Just before I sampled this ... I had a sample of Woodford reserve double oaked and man did this Russell’s out shine the Woodford big time. I thought it was light on the nose but that taste is awesome. First time watching you 👍 Thanks for the review ... I was hoping it wasn’t only me that found this bottle outstanding

[@wellbornmd]

So glad you did this review. This is my absolute favorite. I got a store pick that was very earthy, backing spice, leather. Beat bottle I've ever had.

[@shaneomac151]

Your B roll is crispy clean!!!

[@archietyler6759]

As always another fantastic review!!! Keep them coming Jay! On my way to the leaf😂

[@nickp5511]

Nice review! I’m lucky because a month into my journey after having Russell’s 10yr i picked up this bottle and it’s absolutely a great pour!

[@vermogen3989]

Jimmy is 85 years old. He is the senior master distiller in the entire world (for all spirits). They pick barrels through samples pulled from the barrel. It’s all tasted in the sensory lab in the distillery.

[@Brockthedog315]

I had more of this tonight. You are spot on with the orange. That’s what makes me love it. Delicious. Ok. So tomorrow I get a bottle!

[@JMo-uh5cd]

Totally agree on the chocolate comment. I pick it up pretty frequently, but its always hiding and very subtle. One bourboun that really does it for me is Woodford Double Oak

[@mybourbonjourney]

Killed another Video! Absolutely love the Russell's Reserve Single Barrel, not a bad value for what it is. Was wondering where we were going with this whole Mouth Feel, Creamy and Wood, lol. Great video as always, Cheers buddy!

[@devanwright508]

I love a good cigar pairing with a good bourbon... unfortunately, I can no longer smoke cigars because I quit smoking, and chewing after years and I know if I smoke a cigar, I’ll start craving tobacco 😂😂😂

[@lexwaldez]

I've been working on a bottle of this and she's an easy drinker. I think I like this quite a bit better than Knob Creek SB and that used to be my go to. I think it's better than Old Forester 1920 as well (sacrilege!). I don't have any ECBP to compare with right now. I need to get on that in... 12 more days. I like to hear tasting notes from others to check whether or not I'm completely off the rails. Thnx for the vid brother!

[@hippeedippee]

Thank you for the amount of content you have been doing lately!! We really appreciate it 👌🏻👍🏻

[@defthammer]

I too suffered from the bottle dribbles, but I tried that bottle twist thing you mentioned. Worked like a charm.

[@PlanetRibooted]

This is currently my favorite bourbon, and I have tons of bottles that are twice to 3 times it’s price. I grabbed 3 bottles from the same GOAT barrel.

[@threesons270]

Just bought it. On the hunt for a stagg jr alternative. I hope this scratches that itch.

[@mitchilito99]

The set for these videos is simply amazing. And the content of this particular one - fantastic.

[@andrewt248]

Just brought home a bottle of this from Costco, believe it or not. Sniffed the cork, but didn't pour any. Looking forward to this evening!

[@speedwolf5212]

I’d probably wager that Russell’s Single Barrel is the best readily available bourbon you can buy today. I’ve been in 3 different blind tastings where it unanimously beat out Pappy’s & Btac’s. That stuff is the truth.

[@stephenjones2873]

$49.95 all day long in Arkansas. Some of the best that I have found for the $50 level!

[@justjoe5957]

That’s a great price

[@WarchildWarchild-gh8lr]

This is great bourbon. I also missed the boat on this and only grabbed a bottle about a month ago and loved it from the first sip. This may be my second choice of $60's and under right now behind Michters.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

I tried to do the twist and blew an ACL. Eleven times

[@whothetechknows]

I found this on accident and really enjoyed it. I actually picked it up because I have the same name. Now I'm inspired to go pick up some and bring it home right now :-) Thanks for the awesome video!

[@garyhoffa8846]

One of my new favorite bourbons! Paired it with a Man O' War Ruination. Love the reviews. Keep up the good work

[@edutz321321]

Love this bourbon. My daily smoke is a Padron 1964 Maduro. Great pairing

[@danlaclair01]

Late to the party, but drinking this now. I get a strong Cherry cola on the nose. Citrus and baking spice on the palate. Maybe a little dark chocolate on the back end.

[@threesons270]

This was one of those that I didn’t like at first but tried it again later at night for my nightcap and was hooked

[@crisdiaz1640]

Never had this one and I don’t know why not... I’m loving all the notes you’re throwing out. Anything that’s best neat is a winner for me. BevMo says it’ll be ready for me tomorrow. ✔️😎

[@mandavaler]

If ur a fan of mixed drink and cigars Okiva Serie O and Basil Smash pair really well together with the herbal notes from the drink and the dark wood, cherry, salty earth flavors from the cigar

[@frankg06]

I have seen the bottle but never tried it but after seeing this video its a definite try thanks for the review and awesome work really dig your channel CHEERS!

[@bamasurp]

The Mrs and I opened our new bottle and tried it as we watched the review!

[@jonweaver7191]

I don't know if you still read these comments, but you should check out The Dalmore - Port Wood Reserve. I had it with a cigar I got when I was in Honduras.

[@Brockthedog315]

WT 101 and Russell Reserve are really good. I usually have the former in my house. Reserve is a bit pricey for me but I sip it when I’m out for fun. Thanks!

[@railroadtrash09]

One of my top picks on my playlist.

[@highwayman1224]

Sounds like something I need to try soon. I did pick up a bottle of Four Roses Single Barrel last week and man it was absolutely amazing!

[@tobebrockner]

Any way you can do a BTS of how you set your lighting up for these videos?

[@StekoSkopet]

Great content my man, im from Sweden so bourbon isn't as popular here compared to scotch! So it's fun to see your view of it. We can order bourbon but it's monopoly here in Sweden on alcohol so some bourbons tend to be expensive. Also can you snap a picture of your whiskey shelf and put in Instagram so we can see what you have, you have a lot more now than you had before😍

[@Just1Guy1000]

If I keep watching these my wallet will not like you. Very much enjoying these L&B videos.

[@HangingMossMedia]

Yea buddy!! This one is very good. And I agree the proof is perfect. I wish I could get into cigars, I just can’t get passed the nicotine high.

I made clear ice ... easy and on to the second batch ! Thank you

[@rockdocpalmcoast4189]

My go to Bourbon. Love it!

[@NCNelz]

I just happen to have the exact bourbon in my glass as I saw your review....first time for me ....I love Rare breed one of my go to’s....this is a bit different... more delicate.....well rounded indeed...hard to believe it’s 55% abv , you re right this is the one to try if you havnt experienced barrel proof yet ...tried a little bit the other night ...2nd time I like it a lot more ....love your whiskey den by the way ....I’m very jealous , great job

[@TheVegasViolator]

Awesome as always man. Wouldn't mind some coffee reviews and pairings as well.

[@bayoudrams7771]

I'm with you in that this one flew under my radar for a while. Matter of fact, I still have not tried it. It's on my list for sure but there are so many damn fine bottles out there in the $60 range that it keeps getting passed over for other options.

[@michaeljayne6874]

Hi Jeremy, where did you get the wood serving tray?

[@adrianchandler7853]

I just bought this bottle! Looking forward to cracking this bad boy open! 😋

[@RVWhiskey]

Am I alone in that, I get drawn to a bottle first, before I even taste the whiskey? When a bottle just looks, so damn cool that that’s what draws you first? Lol that’s how I feel about Russell’s Reserve

[@justadudeintheworldman.120]

I’ve been wary of WT because I’m not really a fan of 101. But I picked up a bottle of Russell 10yr on a liquor store owner recommendation, really good & balanced. I’m going to try the Rare Breed next and maybe circle back to WT101.

[@ricklara658]

Russell's Reserve Single Barrel is delicious. I love this stuff. Russell's Reserve and Old Forester 1920 are currently my Friday night bourbons. Great job on the review.

[@RecklessFables]

I wonder if I got a bottle from a bad battle. I just tried 1910, 1920, Four Roses Single Barrel, 1776 and Russel's Reserve Single Barrel. The Russel's Reserve came in 5th for me.

They used to have Single Barrel Small Batch which was my favorite bourbon but they don’t make it anymore when they rebranded the Reserve line. Shame. They say it’s the same as the single barrel but it’s way different. Oh well such is life. Still a great bourbon though!
