This has got to be some kind of Four Roses. Tasting this side by side with Four Roses Small Batch or Single Barrel would be an interesting exercise. The combination of floral, fruity, and spicy characteristics is almost a dead ringer for that distillery’s offerings, but this is a clear case of just buying from the source in my book. The stunning Four Roses Single Barrel is basically the same price, comes at a higher ABV, and is just flat out better. Combined with the hit that Bulleit’s taken recently due to a controversy over the family’s treatment of their daughter Hollis (look it up), I don’t see myself ordering this one again.

I was under the impression Bulleit came out of the Four Roses Distillery and it was common knowledge that they were the origin, turns out is Stitzel-Weller so no surprise really, similar mashbills if not master distillers from each others plant.
