Four Roses Single Barrell. 62.3% LE Barrel 53 5g The bouquest is predominantly floral (subtle floral, with a very frangrant and no p perfume-like smells. There is also a minimal amount of smokiness .I preferto try my liqour neat to assess the flavor profile accurate;y.. This bouraon is one i won't 'b drinking neat for a while, as it was signicant;u harsh, precluding good assessment of the flavor. is not suited for me to drink neat. A few drops of water mellowed it out substantially.. The flavors emerged with the addition of water, With the water, the flavor proflie seems to be sweet up front, and slight vanilla.notes are aprreciable. On a quick bathe of tjje tone and swollowing, the rye declares itself and there is a somewhat saltys, and mildly smokey/[\peak taste that lingers with a medium finish. Overall dfferent, very different forn 4R standard singlebatch, which I drink neat and is much sweeter and smoother. I will see how my opinion changes as I make my way thoufght this bottle.
