OBSF // 11y 3mo // 60.9% Fresh crack first pour Nose: Started off surprisingly light with slight hints of vanilla, caramel, and mint. After letting it breathe for about 15minutes, all of those notes remain in the background and a rye spice steps up to center stage (which makes sense as it’s 4R’s high-rye mashbill). Letting it breathe even longer unleashes an alluring aroma of fruits mixed in with everything else. Every time I go in for another whiff, I pick up on something new. Highly complex, and highly satisfying. Palate: If you’ve ever had Little Book Ch. 6, it has a mint/herbal note extremely similar to that; followed by rye spice and a slight burn. As you sip the burn mellows to zero, but that herbal and rye spice still remain. It is incredibly smooth with a nice Kentucky Hug. Finish: Medium to long, your tongue tingles for a few minutes but the taste leaves before the tingle. All-in-all, I’m personally not super impressed. Maybe I’ll like it more after it has time to breathe, or maybe this just isn’t my recipe. Either way, I can’t say this lives up to the legendary hype these bottles frequently command.

I bought an empty Four Roses barrel many years ago and it was an OESV barrel. The nose on this bottle is the exact same as when I cut into that barrel. This bottle is perfect - top three all time. OESV — 10 years, 5 months — warehouse LW — barrel 41-2J — 57.4%
