Four Roses Private Selection Single Barrel Barrel Strength Bourbon (OESK)

10 Year 2 months old - Bottles in 2022. Nose: Brown sugar and spice Palate: Hints of black pepper and sweetness upfront then followed by leather. Long finish with vanilla at the end. Overall: Phenomenal. Super well balanced.

Nose: chocolate fudge and mint spice dominate, brown sugar/vanilla/caramel, some fruit sweetness Palate: caramel apple, nice bright fruit sweetness with some acidity. Proof is on display beautiful. Cinnamon and apple Finish: hot, all chocolate and leather. Nice balanced oak. Would for sure buy this again. Best four roses I’ve ever had. Wow, 8 on the t8ke scale

Quite a pleasant supper. The nose is confusing to me as it is light and changes based on distance from the glass. Overall, I really enjoy it. Definitely a buy again if I get lucky enough to find it again. * Rating: * 8.5 (close to an all-time favorite, would definitely buy again)

Lots of vanilla and spice then smooth finish

Super smooth and balanced with a nice warmth. Excellent. Notes: pour in a flight at the Bluegrass Tavern, Lexington KY, Jul ‘21
