At the bare minimum, it was one they talked about for a good bit of time, as I remember the dry spice finish being a highlight topic. Interestingly, that dry spice became more of a ginger ale note after being diluted to 110 proof. But I’m getting ahead of myself. \n\u003cp\u003eThe nose exhibits a number of similarities with the other CNE selections, as it’s loaded with vanilla, cherry, and sweet oak notes. On the palate, the profile grows richer and darker with the addition of silky caramel and nougat. And again, the finish lingers with a slowly diminishing berry ginger ale vibe. I wouldn’t quite call it a long finish, but it’s pushing it. Hell, it may just have the longest finish of the Year of Camp Nelson series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re a fan of soda notes - specifically, berry ginger ale - this barrel has your name on it. And though I wouldn’t call it a spicy profile, it has the most noteworthy spice of the CNEs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Russell's Reserve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40659606306945,"sku":"Russell's Reserve Private Barrel Selection (Barrel #25-0396 - Delta Blues) - Rare Bird 101 \u0026 Keg N Bottle Private Barrel Pick 750 ml","price":77.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/4967\/3089\/files\/russells-reserve-private-barrel-selection-barrel-25-0396-delta-blues-rare-bird-101-keg-n-bottle-private-barrel-pick-750-ml-keg-n-bottle-2176445.jpg?v=1773371889","url":"https:\/\/kegnbottle.com\/products\/russells-reserve-private-barrel-selection-barrel-25-0396-delta-blues-rare-bird-101-keg-n-bottle-private-barrel-pick-750-ml","provider":"Keg N Bottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
