Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed
December 6, 2019 (edited April 2, 2020)
This is a barrel selection from Liquor Barn (Kentucky, USA)
“EQ. 5”
Age: 10 years 7 months
Bottled: 2019
OESQ
Proof: 57.5%
Warehouse: TN
Barrel: 34-3C (could also be an L, the handwriting was smudged)
Nose: floral nose with cloves, oak, brown sugar, leather, toffee, butterscotch, raisins
Palate: mint, cinnamon, more raisins, nice mid-palate spice but disappears before the finish
Finish: small Kentucky hug but for the proof it goes down with little burn at
all. Finish is medium though and I wouldn’t quite call it dry but it’s not sweet either at the end.
Overall another great single barrel selection. I like this better than my previous bottle from last year. A bit more complex and very well-balanced from nose to finish. This bourbon, a well-matured 10-year, could easy take on many of the limited releases of even older age that frequently sell for hundreds of dollars more. Four Roses Barrel Select remains one of the best bourbons available period.
