Tastes

Store pick from Broudy’s Liquors. Big red fruit notes, very nice.

Had this at the Glenmorangie tasting event in February 2018. Finished in Ruby Port barrels, so lots of bold fruit, bit of spice on the finish. Very good.

Had this at the Glenmorangie tasting event in February 2018. While so generally like sherry-finished expressions, this one had an off note to it that I did not care for at all.

Had this at the Glenmorangie tasting event in February 2018. First sip was heavy corn and rye cereal sweetness, followed by complex spice flavors on the next tasting. Interesting, but not really my thing.

Had this at the Glenmorangie tasting event in February 2018. I’m not a fan of their younger offerings (too sweet and a bit boring for me), but really enjoyed this one.

Caramel, light oak and some smokiness on the nose. Warm and sweet, candied fruit, vanilla, and a bit of burn on the finish.

Nose - caramel, citrus. Creamy notes, honey, apple, short spike of rye spice in the middle, then a lingering finish of toasted oak.

Big nose with honey, light pepper, and citrus notes. Short finish, but well-balanced.

Fruity, caramel nose banana, oak, slight pepper, dry finish

Attended a charity event with tastings of all 10 Four Roses recipes. Notes on each: OESF - caramel, oak and apricot, very good. OBSF - pepper bomb. OESK - butterscotch, tons of tobacco, white pepper, very good. OBSK - rye spice, honey, floral note; fairly thin. OBSO - short, round finish; caramel, pepper, nothing lingers. OESO - honey, star anise, rye on the finish. OESV - front of tongue spiciness then baking chocolate and tobacco notes; good. OBSV - honey, peaches, oak, rye spice; HUGE nose, very good. OESQ - short nose, lots of barrel notes, more like a scotch; a bit boring. OBSQ - very complex but hard to describe, very good.
