Product Information

Comparisons: Well, that was a pretty lackluster start on the nose, but everything ramped up quickly once the sips began. It’s hard to explain until you taste it but it’s gotten to the point where some of my friends mock it by saying it tastes like a fruit juice. It’s a solid pour and easy sipper with enough complexity to be fun, but enough mellowness that just sitting with it is perfectly enjoyable. If you’re new to whisky (or bourbon) this section explains the unique aspect of Four Roses’ approach to making their spirits. Four Roses Single Barrel immediately pops of honey, apple, and vanilla sweetness, with the oak, cinnamon, and clove coming on the back end with a little heat.

As one of the oldest single-barrel bourbons on the market, this would make an excellent foray into this style of American whiskey. According to the Four Roses neck tag, recipes containing the F yeast strain are known for their fruity characteristics along with spice and mint. Containing a unique blend of six bourbon recipes, it would make a great addition to any whisky collection.It’s relaxing, and it is utterly peaceful and fulfilling, and exactly what you need at the end of a long day.

For this Single Barrel product, I always hand select each barrel from the same recipe at the peak of its maturity for its robust and distinctive character. After a minute I’m left with slightly more prominent apple, citrus, and mint noes as part of a long finish.My last sip is the perfect balance between stone fruit and baking spice that lingers in everlasting ocean waves. This is a change from a lot of 80ish proof bourbons from major Kentucky distilleries, including Evan Williams “Black Label” Bourbon, Jim Beam “White Label” Bourbon, Wild Turkey Bourbon, and Old Grand-Dad Bourbon, to name a few. There’s a lot to like if you’re looking for a more robust flavor profile compared to Beam or Heaven Hill.
