In Virginia, those RR SiB have been hard to find. They’re not considered allocated, but never on our shelves. Went in for some 101 as my cheap sippers are all gone and found a store stocked up with the Single Barrels yesterday for $62. Needless to say I ended up walking out with the 101 and an extra bottle lol. Love the videos!
Russell’s SiB is one of the best values. Stands up great compared to most high dollar pours. And store picks are fantastic. Sad I haven’t found or even seen a RR13 year. Awesome review. Cheers
I can't get the single barrel in PA. I went to two stores in Maryland and no dice. I've been buying Rare Breed...no complaints with that but it's pretty sad that since bourbon got popular people can't get most of the great offerings or afford them anyway. I feel blessed I can get Rare Breed regularly at this point.
I did a little checking and the single barrel Russell's is supposed to be at least 10 yr old juice just like the regular Russell's. Only around 10 to 15 bucks difference in my area. 90 proof around 40 single barrel around 52 give or take.
I’ve only been lucky enough to score one RR SiB here in 🇨🇦. It was a store pick and was outrageously good. Honestly my favourite I’ve tried so far. Thanks Judge!
How would you rate Russell's Reserve Single Barrel against Wild Turkey Rare Breed. I honestly love em both. I honestly can't pick which I like best between them. Haven't found the 13 yr yet.
Top rated RR picks Rare Breed medium to lower rates RR picks That’s how I rank them usually but rare breed is my favorite all things considered bourbon
stores are charging 65$ near me recently for this. used to be $55 just a few months ago. I agree with you, it is really good stuff. I like to alternate between this and Makers private select store picks.
Yes! Someone who shares my pain, also used to be $55 near me and could still find for $45 online. Now 65 plus minimum everywhere and even more for store picks. Nucking Futs. This is the downside of social media, you can discuss how great something is but businesses are lurking here too, listening for a winner. and preparing to rape our wallets.
This bottle, the 1920 and the Antique 107 are my favorite three bottles. I just finished my Russell's Single Barrel on Tuesday so I need to find a replacement soon.
Honestly Judge i got 2 bottles.of RR13 ....its all chocolate raisinette chocolate and fig some blackberry toasted carmel sweet oak and an infinite finish nice slight kentucky hug its everything i want a 13 yr RR to be its stupendous.....imo up their with Stagg Jrs and ECBPs i love almost close to SFTB and from me thats top praise Chindon Judge
Big WT fan. RR SiB bourbon and rye are my favorites (not counting limited releases I never find) but Rare Breed bourbon and rye give them a strong run for the money. I don't find Kentucky Spirit or Russell's 10 year nearly as good. Now the RR 13 sounds great but if you can't find it judge, I don't expect to stand a chance.
Great rundown, Bourbon Judge. No sighting of that RR13 so far... As for the RR Single Barrel - been disappointed with the store picks in comparison to the standard offering. No need to pay that premium, I'm thinking Wild Turkey is offering most of their best to us, before the stores get to choose..... Cheers Your Hounour!!!!
Great review Judge! While 101 still haunts me as a punishment shot from my youth, I agree that the RR is solid as a rock. Total wine has their barrel Select version which is fantastic! Hoping for some luck myself on bumping into the 13!
Definitely one of my favorites. For me, I love it just a bit more than Rare Breed but it’s close. Like you, I haven’t been able to find the 13 yr yet but hoping to find at some point to try it.
I had a single barrel store RR 9 yr it’s one of my best and was the bourbon that actually my wife liked also. She almost emptied my bottle and I had to hide it and replace a similar flavor profile. It also pairs great with a Madura cigar. I should have gotten multiple bottles of this. But it was my first time trying
I went to Wild Turkey Distillery a couple weeks back for the RR13 tasting event… in the presentation, they confirmed that 20% of the barrels used for RR13 were actually 19 year barrels 😯. Can’t beat it for retail. I got a bottle w the sampling event. So good
Every. Single. WhiskeyTube personality has had the opportunity to have RR13. So that sucks that you haven't gotten it. Meanwhile, stores near me either don't have it or are charging $500 for the one bottle they got. Fun.
@@BourbonJudge its okay i have redeemed my testosterone back and found a bottle of the Dickel 15, 104. Man this is thick. Saw you reviewed it. Gonna give it a look!
Have you tried the 2022 RR13? How much should one pay over retail ?
I haven’t yet. But based on the 2021, I would pay double msrp…

If you can make it to Delaware Dan, you can easily find it.

That’s awesome WE! Cheers my friend.
Great review Bourbon Judge.. ... can't find the RR13 but enjoy the Single barre
Thanks Andre. That SB is amazing!

Yep, what Jimbo said. Also rare breed is $10 or cheaper and 115 proof. Cheers!

You have great taste. Those are all solid.
I found one but even though I wanted it $350 wasn’t a price I was willing to pay 🤦🏻. Great review
Worth 200 if u hadnt had it 350 is steep
That’s a grip I hear ya.
Honestly Judge i got 2 bottles.of RR13 ....its all chocolate raisinette chocolate and fig some blackberry toasted carmel sweet oak and an infinite finish nice slight kentucky hug its everything i want a 13 yr RR to be its stupendous.....imo up their with Stagg Jrs and ECBPs i love almost close to SFTB and from me thats top praise Chindon Judge

Mojo my man, bro I appreciate you dude.
Thanks man!
Now I'll never find it at retail 😒 an I don't do secondary prices.
Great review as always.
Appreciate you sir.
How long you had that bottle? I thought they did away with the tags and went to the "private barrel selection" label?
Have a few of these.
I just Cracked my 10 year man is it smooth.😮😊🎉 🍻.

Interesting Kerino regards to your store pick experience. I could see that, maybe for newer stores. Cheers to you Kerino!!!!
Love the RRSB. I'll be picking one up tomorrow. Wish I could find the 13 but I'll settle single barrel. Good review 🙌🏾
Appreciate that Jake

Stan. 💯 im with you. Me too RRSB over RB.

Nice! Yeah that RR is such a damn good bottle. Cheers to you!
BJ I couldn’t find RR 13 either. It came and went. However there SB is not a bad fallback plan. Hopefully they will make it a regular release
Yes indeed Hollis!
Finally had some RR13 last night and it was damn good. That finish was looooooooong…
Lol no doubt System. Congrats on your pour.
I really like Russell's Reserve 10 year great 90 proof easy sipper 👍🏻🦃🥃Never have tied the single barrel from Russell's Reserve
Definitely try the SB. Fantastic juice

Wow, 19 yrs!!!!
Always getting these bottles $10 less than the rest of us. I'm in Massachusetts.
Dude's got a whiter voice than me and I've been white 46 years 🤔🤣
White? Did you expect me to come out rapping about bourbon?
@@BourbonJudge nah, just sound like a nerdy white dude that's all

I hear ya Adam. Hate it when stores charge crazy prices.
And I think to myself, why am I drinking this stupid beer PBR.. (Sad Face)...
Lmao
@@BourbonJudge its okay i have redeemed my testosterone back and found a bottle of the Dickel 15, 104. Man this is thick. Saw you reviewed it. Gonna give it a look!
