Four Roses Private Selection Single Barrel Barrel Strength Bourbon

Attended a charity event with tastings of all 10 Four Roses recipes. Notes on each: OESF - caramel, oak and apricot, very good. OBSF - pepper bomb. OESK - butterscotch, tons of tobacco, white pepper, very good. OBSK - rye spice, honey, floral note; fairly thin. OBSO - short, round finish; caramel, pepper, nothing lingers. OESO - honey, star anise, rye on the finish. OESV - front of tongue spiciness then baking chocolate and tobacco notes; good. OBSV - honey, peaches, oak, rye spice; HUGE nose, very good. OESQ - short nose, lots of barrel notes, more like a scotch; a bit boring. OBSQ - very complex but hard to describe, very good.
