Russell's Reserve 10 Years Old Review
Named in honor of Wild Turkey’s father-son duo, Jimmy and Eddie Russell, this bourbon overdelivers on its price tag, offering affordably complexity at an approachable proof. It's a fruity bourbon, overall, with dried orange peel aromas setting the tone, and complementing its heady vanilla character. Sure, you'll want to enjoy this neat or on the rocks, but don't count cocktails out of the equation. We love it in a Boulevardier.
