A familiar Four Roses perfume greets the nose, filled with high esters, warm toffee, woody tonality, baking spice and a rich grain bill. Quite inviting. At 112 proof, it is still quite drinkable with the myriad of flavors all tightly bound into a neat package. The mouthfeel is medium-heavy, with a lot of the high notes dominating the overall approach. After a half a minute, more of the inher0ent flavors come out to play. A healthy dose of oak and char lead the parade followed by lighter notes of tobacco, brown bread, dark molasses, roasted coffee bean, and a touch of burnt caramel. The finish is long and fades out at a steady pace. A very nice anniversary expression that offers a rare chance to try a unique blending of venerable bourbons.
