Tasting Notes
Four Roses Small Batch - Barrel Strength 2017 is a delightful whiskey that tantalizes the senses with its rich and complex flavors. The aroma invites you in with notes of stewed fruit, soft oak, a touch of menthol, and hints of allspice and vanilla bean. As you take a sip, your taste buds are greeted by a delightful blend of boiled orange sweets, raspberry, cherry, milk chocolate, and butterscotch, all beautifully balanced with a charred oak background. The finish lingers long, leaving a delightful trail of brown sugar and cinnamon on your palate. This small batch release is a harmonious blend of three unique Four Roses bourbon recipes, including a 15-year-old OESK, a 13-year-old OESK, and a 12-year-old OESV, all expertly crafted with a mashbill of 75% corn, 20% rye, and 5% malted barley, and bottled at a robust 53.9% ABV.
