I picked up a bottle of this for only $22 bucks last week at Meijer. I've tried Four Rose's single barrel before and I was a fan instantly. I'd heard good things from this house so I wanted to give it a try. At first scent it's a very pleasant nose, caramel & vanilla instantly. At first sip it's very smooth, I get the vanilla and also a bit of honey. I was waiting for a little bit of alcohol burn, but there was absolutely none. The bourbon does come off light, but it's so darn pleasant on the palate who cares. At 2nd sip the bourbon comes off pretty straight forward , light with a very nice mouth. This is not a layered, complex bourbon. But you can tell the genius in this 80 proof bourbon by how pleasant it is to taste/sip. I could sip this one all day, job well done once again by Four Roses.
