Four Roses founder Paul Jones Jr. became undoubtedly smitten by a beautiful woman who he proposed to. She said she would let him know her answer by attending an evening ball with a four rose corsage. We guess she said yes, since he renamed his entire brand to Four Roses! This Single Barrel 100 Proof bourbon is a rich, plummy and fruity whiskey, and it makes a fantastic Hot Toddy or Kentucky lemonade.
A balanced, rich, fruity nose. Notes of spices and chocolate. Toffee and vanilla.
Tart stone fruits, prunes, spices, morello cherries, cocoa and vanilla.
Oak, chocolate, butterscotch.
Among my favorite single barrel bourbons! I always drink this neat! So smooth and good! Wish it came in 1.75’s!
I hate pouring money down the drain. One drink, 2-oz bourbon, bit of ice and water. Notes of ethanol and rye burn. Not good. I actually poured contents of the bottle down the drain. No stars.
Awful tasted like rubbing alcohol. Wound up pouring it down the drain. Contacted Four Roses with the warehouse and barrel numbers thinking possibly a bad batch received no response. I’ll stick with my Basil Haydens.
For the price. It's balanced, sweet and perfect to nip on ice or straight up. Can't beat it in this price point
It's a good bourbon, Though I find WT101 and Woodford reserve more interesting drams. I don't like odd stylishly designe Bottles.
