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

119 proof but not too hot. Sweet and vanilla and smooth to sip; bring me a bouquet

Super hot initially. Overpowering.

Appearance: Amber, carmel color Nose: Peppery, sharp alcohol notes Palate: sweet, vanilla, charred oak spicy Finish: spicy lngering sweet finish

Neat. Neck pour. Binny’s pick, ~11year. First time with a OESQ. Vanilla frosting, chocolate and strawberries on the nose. Almost reminds me of a crepe with a layer of baking spice behind it. That chocolate note is my favorite aspect. Thick and viscous on the tongue. All brown sugar and baking spices. Burnt caramel and chocolate on taste. The longer I sit with it this floral component becomes more prominent on the nose and taste. It’s delightful but just okay. Somewhat of a let down for my first Four Roses Barrel Strength Store pick experience. That chocolate note salvaged the entire experience.

little more ruff and not as smooth as the OESV.
