Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 4, 2024 (edited April 1, 2024)First glass of a new bottle. On the nose, apples, pears, and cinnamon rolls. Palate is rich with dark fruits and more cinnamon, along with some sweet, lots of spice, and a little barrel oak. Spicy finish, some oak, minimal sweet. I like all the four roses (small batch, small batch select), but this is my favorite. Very flavorful, and i like the spiciness.44.0 USD per Bottle -
First glass out of a new bottle. Nose is cinnamon, herbal tea, and a little pine. Palate is spicy and sweet - quite flavorful, not very subtle, but everything is pleasant. A little pine and barrel in the background, which gives it a little complexity (though I would say the basic merits of this whiskey is that it is simple and good). Finishes spicy, with some of that barrel flavor. Very good, especially for the price, though I wouldn't consider myself a rye connoisseur.25.0 USD per Bottle

Very pleasant peated whiskey. First glass of a new bottt. Nose is honey nut Cheerios, with some brine/peat. Palate is similar: malty sweet, with the smoke/char coming at the end. Proof is decent, so even if it's pretty, it doesn't at all fall flat. Smoke lingers on the finish. I like everything about this, dont find anything to dislike. Probably a good gateway for people who like other scotches but aren't sold on Islay scotches (for reference, I'm in the opposite camp: love smokey whiskys, but would choose a bourbon over a highland scotch most days). The official review is right: not a "storm," more like a mild day by the sea. But mild days are great! Highly recommend: pretty and flavorful, with a balance of sweet and smokey.42.0 USD per Bottle

First glass out of a new bottle. On the nose, I get maraschino cherries, apple, and a little Werther's Original. Flavor is pretty middle of the road. Vanilla, medium sweet, with a slight bit of barrel char throughout. It is on the lighter side, but the proof means that it doesn't taste flat. Shorter finish, with the oakiness coming to the foreground. My first impressions are that this is very nice tasting throughout, and a decent, but not outstanding bottle in the under $30 category. Looking forward to a second glass.26.0 USD per Bottle

Young and light. Nose is grain, pine, and mint. Taste is subtle so a little difficult to be specific, but maybe caramel and fruit. Finish is quick but a little bitter - my least favorite part. All in all, interesting but disappointing. I warmed toward it over the course of my glass though, so maybe I'll feel differently after the second glass of the bottle.37.99 USD per Bottle
