Nose- Initial wave of herbal wildflowers; juicy raspberries; vanilla; aged oak; honey; cinnamon spice Palate- wave of sweet honey; bright red fruits; juicy fruit gum; aged oak; cinnamon; rich vanilla Finish- Long, creamy and drying finish; Light dusting of cinnamon; juicy fruit gum; aged, spicy oak) This lives up to the hype. Wow, best four roses release i’ve tried. From nose to finish, this is perfectly balanced with an explosion of aromas and flavors. The palate on this is to die for. The nose was a bit subdued initially, but after a couple minutes in the glass it opened up greatly. The nose is described perfectly on the bottle (raspberries, honey, aged oak) with additional notes of herbal wildflowers and cinnamon. You can taste the age in all the right ways. The palate is fantastic and the most shining aspect of this whiskey. The finish, as expected, is long, with a drying sensation on the tongue and creamy mouthfeel.
