    I get apricots and maybe plum as it sweetens going into the finish.

    Nice review and I couldn't agree more, one that you should have on hand at all times. Fits right into that daily sipper range. Easy drinking at 90proof. Cheers!!

    I didn't smell fruit either but adding an ice cube changed what did smell. Definitely smell the wood and spice.

    Floral sweetness on the nose. Light yet creamy mouthful (lol) with apricot/prune vibe followed by some some spice on the long finish. Potency more on the nose than mouth. Overall solid bourbon with a good price point.

    I get banana bread with almonds in the noise. On the palate I get sweet dark cherries. 🤷🏽‍♂️ that’s what I pick up. Great bourbon to drink neat for sure.

    i agree with most of what you say. Ofcourse taste differs with everyone but you talked about most points very clearly. I am not a fan of the regular Four Roses or this one really (wouldn't spit in it if someone gave me a glass ;) ), but i do love the single barrel version. Especially when i get in on sale the value is just so great. Continue your great work my friend.

    I bought one after watching this review and it's really smooth, i'm a newb when it comes to whiskey/bourbons mostly drunk jameson/chivas/Jim Beam throughout my life. But this might be the best i've tasted so far. But am i the only one getting a hint of banana in the after taste? i am not used to all the smells and tastes but that's what it reminds of.

    I do get candied Cherries, in the nose behind the corn and caramel. like the ones my Mom put into her fruitcake. and I think I get copper penny is the taste, not sure about that something metallic though, good review keep it up!

    I like this one and think it's a great value bourbon. I suppose one of it's major competitors is Buffalo Trace which I like but I think this is the better of the two. A pleasant, easy going bourbon. Cheers

    I find the fruit/floral notes seem to come through once the bottle has been open for a while and keeps getting better as the level drops. Definitely one the best bourbons in the $35 range.

    Spend 4 dollars more and get single barrell and invest in 3 ice cubes also. It's incredible wet bourbon. I currently am feeling the vibes from it and it's worth getting rid of the sweetness.

    Nice review. I wish I could say that I could add more to it but I don't get much more than you did. It's smooth and easy drinking. I wouldn't turn this down, but I'm not sure I would buy it again (or at least not in a while). I think its in the middle between "try it" and "buy it". Have you done much of the Buffalo Trace line? It may be my favorite distillery. Great line of very good bourbons.

    • @TheWhiskeyDictionary
      @TheWhiskeyDictionary  6 років тому

      I've done a few of their bourbons so far. Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare. I'm definitely eager to do some more of their whiskey on this channel though. They've got A LOT of good stuff.

    Don't agree. I found Four Roses Small Batch to have a rather weak nose, not a very strong front end and a weak finish. Wild Turkey 101 was, for me, far more pleasing, much more distinctive in its nose and front end, and nice long finish.
