I keep writing that I’m not a big bourbon fan but the more I taste the more I realize that it’s a certain profile of bourbon that I don’t care for. Specifically, the creamy, corn-heavy variety, which I associate most often with Four Roses. What I do like in bourbon is the darker, richer flavors, and they’re here in plenty: caramel, ginger snaps, brown sugar, oak tannin. My sample was perhaps a little too spicy mid-palate, but the caramel on the finish wraps it up nicely.
