Four Roses Small Batch Barrel Strength Bottled 2016 Kentucky Small Batch Straight Bourbon Whisky Tasting Notes
Nose: A spicy nose soon reveals orchard fruit and ripe apples, along with vanilla.
Palate: Dark brown sugar comes strong on the palate, with vanilla, white chocolate, and tart cherries. The finish is quite sweet and rich, then moves into drier oak with cinnamon, but the sweetness continues to linger and never leaves. Incredibly smooth especially at the proof.
Finish: Lingering and rich.
Distillery Information
Four Roses Distillery is a special place with a special page in history. One of only six distilleries that were permitted to operate during Prohibition to produce medicinal Bourbon, it has an intriguing history. Sitting on the banks of the Salt River in the serene rural part of Kentucky, it saw ups and downs, until it was resurrected in 2002.
