The Russell’s 10 year is an amazing bourbon. It provides the flavor of aged bourbon without the harshness and hot spice of a bourbon that has just sat for no reason. I especially love finding a store pick to capture some of the nuances of this bourbon. If you can’t find a Russell’s 13, grab two 10’s.

I went to bar with a great selection of Flights for my birthday. Having only been exploring whiskeys for less than a year... this was at the top of my "First Try Flight!" It was incredible... made me stop on the way home to buy my first bottle. In a year of exploring whiskeys... I felt as if everything I liked individually in several bourbons, came together in one bottle for me. It's my No 1 recommendation to people who ask... & to some that don't.

Its aroma tantalizes with hints of vanilla, caramel, and aged oak, while the palate delights with rich flavors of caramel, vanilla, and seasoned oak, complemented by a subtle tobacco note. The finish is a crescendo of rye spice followed by lingering tones of toasted marshmallows and leather, leaving a satisfying warmth. Despite its rarity, this bourbon offers exceptional value, making it a must-have for any bourbon aficionado seeking a classic, well-balanced sipper.

I’m relatively new to bourbon over the past year and half or so. Up to this point I have tried probably 20-30 bourbons and of the ones I have tried Russel’s is one that I go back to often and will always have a bottle open on my shelf. When my shelf bottle gets to half I get a back up bottle asap. It’s one of the best daily sippers around in my opinion. It’s very vanilla and marshmallow to my palate which I absolutely love. Like I said it’s one bottle that I will always always have on my shelf. It’s a really solid bourbon at its price and proof that just sips so well neat.

Russell's 10 drinks well above it's designated 90 proof and has the flavor complexity of a higher proof as well. For $40, you get a 10 year bourbon (blended with barrels with even higher age) that smashes bottles triple the MSRP and it's widely available! This is a must have in any bar!

Russell’s Reserve 10 yr is one of the finest all around bourbons at a great price with all the quintessential Wild Turkey flavors of toffee, caramel,oak, vanilla, tobacco and I get some butterscotch as well. This 10 yr old bourbon is more readily available, more affordable than Eagle Rare 10 yr and honestly I like Russell’s better.

My first taste into Russel's is the 10 year and this expression is leagues above itself on value. All though I have heard that in recent years it has risen in price in my initial thought I feel that Russells 10 year is definitely a 40 dollar bottle. The cherry notes on the palate are only preceded by some of the most soothing caramel and vanilla on the nose. A staple on my bar for sure.

I do enjoy this bourbon, but it feels lacking in comparison to other offerings in the industry and quality has seemingly gone down. The recent LL/ME batch is a reminder of how good this bourbon used to be. I hope future batches will be closer to LL/ME profile. I hope Wild Turkey prioritizes keeping or improving quality of shelf projects over special releases that are nearly impossible obtain.

At first I was skeptical of this readily available, reasonably cost product. After trying multiple bottles and at different locations, I've concluded that this is a wonderful offering. It is great neat and surprisingly good in cocktails as well. It's a versatile beast of a product and I'm glad I found it.

My favorite bourbon. 2 fingers at the end of a day. I work part-time at a liquor store in Va and recommend this bottle regularly to my customers. No one has ever come back with a complaint. I have made a number of customers regulars of Russell’s 10 year. Smooth and sits well on the palate, not hot and finishes beautifully. Subtle vanilla notes are present and I enjoy the aroma of the empty glass. Great product.
