Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon

Smooth well balanced, excellent mixing or sipping

Could be best mixer to buy, also loved it on its own as a sipper. I might have liked better than single barrel tbh but would have to compare again

Light and pleasant on the nose with hints for light oak and sweet fruits. The palate is more sweet fruit notes especially cherry mixed with a light floral potpourri. The finish is complex and sweet but brief. Overall a pleasant fruity sip throughout.

Finally picked up this small batch after passing by many times. I have had the single barrel which was pretty good. Nose is vanilla yankee candle, toasted oak and baking spice with some resin. Palate is sugary vanilla with cinnamon oak and some pepper heat. Finishes quick and dry with the sweet sugars and lotsa oak testing the edge of bitter. Couple drops elevates the cinnamon heat. Overall I come away thinking of a candy cigarettes vibe. Its a thin texture and flavor is not very deep yet still somewhat enjoyable. Solid bourbon that I think most will like but its not quite my favorite profile .......78/100
