Hi-Time Wine Cellars Pick, OESO, 10 years 4 months Nose is fragrant with sweet corn, rye crisp cracker, honey, pepper, sweet green oak, ginger ale, mandarin orange, and toffee. There’s a lot going on here, but somehow it works. Unfortunately some ethanol does rear to ugly head. Palate is much more traditional than the nose would indicate with rich vanilla, caramel, buttercream, baked apple, nutmeg, and macadamia nut. Flavors pop and are well integrated. Long finish offers various wood tannins, cherry, peppercorn, continued vanilla from the palate, cinnamon, and chocolate mint. Mouthfeel is full bodied and creamy, elevating the experience. Kind of a roller coaster ride of a whiskey that keeps you guessing and I’m here for it. Four Roses barrel strength picks tend to be excellent and this is no exception. At $89.99 I paid via mail order it’s an obvious slam dunk. No regrets.
