Tastes

Lots of online reviews sell this short. Maybe is not terribly complex but it’s very good. Strong but not overpowering peat flavor. Mellows out after a month or so.

I find four roses to be really hard for me to pinpoint tasting notes and find the reason I love it so much. In general, I don’t love high rye expressions. I don’t get strong notes of particularly anything but when I drink this and small batch I just enjoy them immensely.

I have been looking for a cheap scotch to have as a daily drinker. I avoided glenfiddich because the packaging looked like something from hobby lobby. However the reviews in this particular dram were overwhelmingly positive. I went ahead and put my ego aside and bought this. I’m massively disappointed. It taste like a poor man’s monkey shoulder that I paid. $22 more for. Glenfiddich 15 year is much better. Trying to bridge the gap between bourbon and scotch lovers just didn’t work for me.

Deep charred oat taste with maple syrup. Absolutely fantastic. I love bouncing between this, wild turkey rare breed and four roses single barrel.

I bought a bottle of this and green spot at the same time. The first night I thought green was the winner. Since then, redbreast wins every time. Much more flavor than the green spot. I think this is the best bottle of anything I’ve had around the $60 price range.

I can’t even begin to describe this. One of the most unique bourbons I’ve ever tasted. My wife said it had a bacon note to it. I kind of noticed it afterwards. It’s got some burn but I like it.

I really like this for the price point I get it for. Looking at what others paid, I probably wouldn't go over $65 USD for this. That being said, it’s very solid. I like peated scotch but some of the stuff like ardbeg 10 is a bit too much for me. The balance of this is just right.
