Four Roses has disappeared from shelves in my local market (Alberta, Canada), and that's a shame because this juice is--for me--the perfect balance of price and quality. This was the bourbon that convinced me I genuinely loved bourbons. Lots of spice on the nose (clove, cinnamon), a caramelized vanilla charred oakiness. Brown sugar, a bit of caramel. Butterscotch. Sweet light fruits. Big cherry. Pretty noticeable rye, and a nice sweet fruit jelly/jam. Warm, sweet taste, with just enough rye spice to keep things balanced. Vanilla, baking spices, brown sugar, apricot, and sweet red fruits--lots of cherry. Medium finish with caramel, vanilla, and baking spices. It's not the most complex whiskey I've ever had, but it's amongst the most aggressively likeable--sweet, spicy, clean. Pair it with a steak, sip it thoughtfully, use it for cocktails, or nurse a glass while otherwise occupied; it's tremendously versatile--I miss it a lot.
