Four Roses Small Batch 130th Anniversary Edition, 54.15%
Price: $140 ● Issue: Winter 2018 ● Reviewer: Jeffery Lindenmuth
A beguiling nose balances maturity and freshness, with charred oak, caramelized sugar, blackberry pie filling, floral notes, and toasted almond evolving in deep layers. The concentration on the palate is jaw-dropping—so much richness, power, and grace, as flavors flit across the tongue. Robust and drinkable, the fruity pie filling turns to candied orange peel and buckwheat honey before a licorice-laced finish. (13,140 bottles) Collectible
