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.
Ya Russell’s 15 us special l. I love the balance of fruit and oak.
It's not quite up there with let's say a Russell's 15 even though it's older.
