Best standard Bourbon I’ve tried by far, now My ‘must have’ after buying on my last trip to Guernsey....just soooo drinkable, meat, over ice or with a mixer, it is great for all occasions!!!!
Being a fan of bourbon it's not always easy to find o very good bourbon one can recommend to others . Quality of this bourbon is gigantic in a sense of balancing your sweet and salt taste buds. It's fruity but not to much it's sweet just as a bourbon always is and it gives you the kick you need . As another example I could mention wild turkey but having tasted both today four roses beats it all the way.
Nose is a blend of vanilla, caramel, and almost a chocolate or herbal quality. Taste is very mixed, an initial lightness, followed by a mellow burn, and a slight acidic saltiness. Does this have no flavor? It seems to be very mineral flavored. But in a good way, if that makes sense. Mild lingering saltiness. Hm
I'm not a bourbon expert, but I would prefer Bulleit or Buffalo Trace over this. Where I live, (China) Buffalo Trace is about 5 pounds more expensive, online, and is SO much better. This is maybe more complex but has some kind of soapy taste that I just can't really get into.
The Four Roses small batch is one of my favourite bourbon’s. I have only recently tried it, but I will certainly be getting more in the future.
