Four Roses Private Selection Single Barrel Barrel Strength Bourbon

Part 4 of 4: Nose: On the nose I found very strong vanilla, with caramel, banana, and butterscotch notes. Taste: The palate was very punchy. Heavy oak and licorice notes were what stood out mostly. Opinion: Though this 59.1% abv and over 9 year old bourbon was not necessarily my favorite, I can see this being very pleasant and enjoyable to others! It was complex and had a lot of character while still staying true to the Four Roses taste profile. All in all, I greatly enjoyed the tasting event, and can't wait to see those of you near Colorado Springs at the next one! Sláinte!
