Name: Four Roses Single Barrel
Bottled By: Four Roses Distillery
ABV: 50%
Proof: 100
Notes: On the nose four roses has a pleasant wood scent, with vanilla and fruit notes. At first sip I tasted vanilla, caramel, cherries, and apricots with some noticeable spice up front, nutmeg, cinnamon, and pepper flavors. There is a nice burn that quickly fades to some sweeter notes. The finish is spicy with some vanilla, toffee, cinnamon, and wood flavors and is surprisingly long. Four Roses Single Barrel is great bourbon that provides some complex flavors as well as some burn. To me, this bourbon definitely stands out above some of the rest in the price range. It has a great flavor and the perfect burn that really warms you up. I tried it neat, on the rocks, and with a splash and enjoyed it best with a splash as it brought more flavor out. Four Roses Single Barrel is a fine addition to any bourbon collection.
