I just had some Russell's Reserve with my lunch of homemade Brusnwick Stew and the two sang a tasty duet.
Why in the world did Wild Turkey mess with Russell's Reserve? It was a great bourbon just like it was..............in my opinion as good as, and maybe better than, Rare Breed or Kentucky Spirit. To my mind it is the quintessential bourbon. There may be some bourbons that are better (sometimes), but I hate to think about the day when there won't be no RR 101 in my liquor cabinet.
I haven't tried the 'new' Russell's Reserve and I confess that I might not be able to tell the difference. Still, it seems like a slap in the face to Wild Turkey drinkers to change the formula. It just pisses me off!
OK, I am coming down from my soapbox!!
I wish WT the same success Coca Cola had with the 'new' coke.
