Four Roses // Kentucky, USA
This is a Kentucky straight bourbon and is the entry-level bourbon for the brand. Four Roses has two separate mash bills they can use for their bourbons. One is labeled recipe "B" and is 60% corn, 35% rye, and 5% malted barley. The other is recipe "E" and is 75% corn, 20% rye, and 5% malted barley. Both mash bills are utilized for this bottling.
Additionally, Four Roses uses up to five different yeast strains for their bourbons. All are used here. Over time, the Yellow Label bottle has changed with the label losing the yellow color. Beginning in spring 2018, the name for this product is simply "Four Roses Bourbon". .

Tasting Notes
"The nose is sweet with honey, vanilla, and a touch of spice. The palate has even more sweet corn, with a slight rye spice flavor and more honey. The finish is longer than one might expect with more brown sugar and oak. "
