Four Roses 2015 Limited Edition Small Batch
Country: USA
Region: Kentucky
Type: Bourbon
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 53.85%
Score: 93 Points
This is the final Four Roses whiskey from longtime Master Distiller Jim Rutledge before his retirement, and he’s leaving with a classic. The nose has notes of cherry pie, cinnamon, clove, vanilla, honey, and subtle hints of dried flowers. The taste is spicy and full-bodied with clove and cinnamon notes that last and last, then fade slowly to reveal hints of dark chocolate, vanilla, orange peel, and honey. The finish is dry with a subtle oakiness and notes of vanilla and cocoa. Outstanding! (August, 2015)
