Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch Barrel Strength (2024 Release), 54.1%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2024 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
Sweet oak, vanilla, and rice pudding on the nose, with potpourri, dried herbs, incense, and a hint of barrel char. The palate offers more char, melding with dark chocolate, unsweetened espresso, a tart bite, and more earthy notes of warehouse and oak. A balanced, spicy finish brings melted dark chocolate, camp coffee, cinnamon babka, and brown sugar as the flavors pour on. Superbly herbal, spicy, earthy, and chocolaty.
