Four Roses 2012 Small Batch Limited Edition

The nose on this annual release has notes of vanilla, orange peel, mild allspice, pipe tobacco, and a hint of leather. The taste is spicy and tart with orange peel and black pepper. Fresh berries come out as the pepper fades, along with a hint of dark chocolate. The finish is clean with notes of vanilla, cedar chips, and a touch of dark chocolate.
