A couple quick tasting notes…everyone agreed that the Russell’s Reserve was not a bad whisky. It just did not have a lot of flavor. We consider it to be a great whisky for the beginner. Also, Tom Moore Distillery produces a great number of low cost whiskies so the group was very surprised by the 1792 Ridgemont Reserve. If you have not had the opportunity to try it, put it on you list.
