Four Roses Small Batch

WOTD 11: Four Roses Small Batch

Four Roses Small Batch contains a mixture of four of their signature blends (I'll be doing a separate blog post about Four Roses methods). The Single Barrel contains only one blend, obviously, and Yellow Label is a mixture of all ten. Four Roses is an all around good bourbon. All of their blends contain good quality and consistency. If your fortunate enough to snag one of the Four Roses Limited Editions (Small Batch or Single Barrel) you'll find a truly superb whiskey. Today though, I'm going to review the standard Small Batch.

Nose: Spice, brown sugar, cherries and fruits, hint of oak and caramel

Taste: Spicy with some sweetness, oak, caramel, black pepper.

Finish: Smooth and of decent length

I like Four Roses Small Batch quite well, but to be honest, neat or on the rocks, it doesn't have a flavor that captures me. At 45% ABV, you can still add water with out weakening it too much but, honestly I think this still makes a better high grade mixer then straight up drinker. For the price though, you are getting a really good whiskey.

Price $30~
