Four Roses Small Batch Select Bourbon

Neat- delicious and smooth! With water- same as neat On ice- better neat than ice, but I think that'll depend on preference. It was just really THAT good neat

Neck pour. Really enjoyed this one! Very complex nose showing expected bourbon notes plus whiffs of chocolate, cherries, and less typical baking spices. Overall I loved the darker tone to this one. Palate was very good with plenty of bite and spice but balanced and rich deep flavors. Didn’t quite get the chocolate on the palate which was disappointing but we’ll see as the bottle opens up over time.

Rich and very sweet.

Smooth. Not spicy like the Single Barrel. Don’t feel like it’s high proof.
