Incredible - an all time favorite. OESK — 9 years, 9 months — warehouse KE — barrel 63-2A — 57.8%

Not my favorite Four Roses recipe but this single barrel OESV is still incredible - an all time favorite. OESV — 11 years, 3 months — warehouse PN — barrel 8-3F — 58.5%

I've tried almost all of the ten mash bill and yeast strain combinations now and I think this OBSO might be my favorite. Generally prefer high-rye bourbons but the fruitiness of this one and at 117 proof — this is perfect. Exemplary selection by OHLQ. OBSO — 9 years, 10 months — warehouse PN — barrel 29-3E — 58.5%

OBSK recipe, 10 years and 1 month, bottled at 52%. On the nose, caramel, Blue Bell Peaches and Homemade Vanilla ice cream, clove, orange peel. The nose is really something. On the palate, starts with rich caramel and vanilla, grilled peach, cinnamon apple, citrus. The spice builds all the way through. The lower proof for a barrel strength gave me pause, but I'm glad I pulled the trigger on this one. The high rye recipe gives this one plenty of pow. I think the regular single barrel already punches well above its price point, but this is in a higher weight class. This is in the 4.25-4.5 range for me, but the Blue Bell ice cream note gives it the edge. Cheers to all the the dads! Update: subsequent tastings having me drop this a quarter point.

The extra age and few proof points above the standard Four Roses single barrel really steps this up. This is incredible - an all time favorite. Excellent pick by Gallenstein. OBSV — 9 years, 8 months — warehouse SN — barrel 87-1N — 53.4%
