Originally sold only to the japanese market, this four roses have the most beautiful bottle of the whole brand, but regretfully, it is much alike the rest of the bourbons this distillery make, a boring, normal and a little harsh dram. Bottled at 43%abv Vanilla, caramel, banana. Your typical bourbon on the nose. It has a metallic note that is common (for me) in some older bourbons. On the palate, prunes, clove and a mild starting sweetness of toffee. Normal dram. Aftertaste is oaky, spicy. Clove. Not long. Overall, i give this dram a 70 over 100, a normal four roses score.
