Warehouse No. M E Barrel No. 39-3 V Color: Medium Amber Nose: Brown sugar, butterscotch, caramel. Palate: (Drank with a large ice ball) Initially spicy and loads of oak. A little sweet, but more spicy than anything else. Slight hint of cherry(?). Gentle chest hug after a few sips. Vanilla and some smoky tobacco start to come through as the ice begins to melt. Finish: Medium finish with more spicy oak, and a butter-flavored pretzel kind'a thing going on. Interesting. Along with Maker's Mark, Old Tub, Michter's and a couple others, Four Roses SB was one of the first bourbons I'd had. So, I didn't have a lot to bounce it off of at the time... I didn't really know yet what I liked and what I didn't like. Following some subsequent pours, I did not think I liked it. I actually slammed it pretty hard here. But I knew I had to give it another try, and I'm glad I did. Very good bourbon. Could end up in my regular rotation. As such, I've removed my original negative review and score, and have replaced it with this updated submission.
