Four Roses Small Batch Select Bourbon

A lil nicer than the other small batch. Typically fruity for 4R. Enjoyed neat

Earlier Four Roses Friday virtual happy hour with @Zslug!

Nose: peanut brittle Taste: honeysuckle, fig and cheerios Light on the palette, disperses quickly. Slight sweetness left behind.

Copper color. Nose is a bit faint with notes of vanilla, candied orange peel, lemon drops candy, Juicy Fruit gum, and hints of cocoa powder. Creamy mouthfeel. Great palate with lots of dark fruits (raisins, dates, dried figs), caramel chews, vanilla bean, cinnamon spice, faint bubblegum, wintergreen, and peppery oak. Finish is medium length and dry, with lots of wood/raw oak, red hots candy, burnt sugar, and lingering wintergreen. Overall, a weak citrusy nose that hides an explosion of dark, fruity and spicy flavor on the palate, then fades to a minty finish with just a little too much of the raw wood note.

Especially long finish in this one. Vanilla comes through along with the fruit and slight mint notes.
