Four Roses 2011 Small Batch Limited Edition

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 55.6%

Score: 94 Points

This annual release uses four of the ten Four Roses recipes, and is a complex and classic Bourbon. The nose has notes of vanilla, molasses, caramel, toasted oak, and brown sugar. The taste is intense and spicy with a blast of black pepper that fades to reveal vanilla, caramel, and a hint of campfire smoke. The finish is sweet and lingering with vanilla and caramel notes.
