  • Parent context: How would you compare this to Russell's 15? Reply: 15 is sweeter, richer, a bit funky, and the better overall pour.

Bottles like Beacon or Russell’s 15 easily hang with vintage Turkey in terms of quality if not the exact profile

Yeah, I think Russell’s 15 has to take my top spot - one of the best bourbons in recent years, period. That’s one of their bottles that I think is actually worth the high MSRP!

Jack 14 is already shaping up to be this year's Russell's 15 - A release that kind of comes out of left field from a respected distiller and impresses almost everyone that has a pour.

It's not quite up there with let's say a Russell's 15 even though it's older.
