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.
This is a bottle i pull out on occasion, not an everyday sipper but can be if its the only bottle on the shelf. Pure quality and at 100 proof needs no water. Tasty and elegant is the best i can describe Four Roses bourbons.
smooth and a sublime single barrel Bourbon. When this bottle is empty I will be definitely be buying another.
I have to rate this one high as it is certainly one of the smoothest and easiest to drink Bourbons around. Very warm sensation without any burning. Good balance, some spice, but fruity in nose. Oakey finish. Just a good Bourbon, nothing fancy or out of the way different from other great single barrel's, but in my opinion, one of the best single barrel's...best part is, it's probably the most affordable good single barrel produced....JP from KY
We tried the sampler at the Old Talbott Tavern in Bardstown, KY. seeing all the bourbon distilleries, I could remember 4 Roses. Neither my husband or I were great fans of Bourbon, but the Smoothness of this Bourbon was warm and satisfying. We bought a bottle for the old homestead and plan on many enjoyable sips.
