Four Roses Single Barrel Review
This high-rye single-barrel bourbon is typically bottled between 7 and 9 years old. Its profile lands on the more delicate end of the spectrum (where bourbon is concerned), but the spirit still sings with enjoyable aromas and flavors. Orchard fruit, dried orange, baking spices, and maple stand out on the nose, before the palate serves subtle doses of toasted nuts and rye spice. Not all bourbons have to be bold and in your face, as this enjoyable release capably proves.
Four Roses Single Barrel Pros And Cons
