Four Roses Experimental Series #001 Mizunara Cask Finish
104 proof 6 years Bourbon Four Roses Lawrenceburg, KY $55 65% corn, 35% rye, 5% malted barley
Nose

Bright and aromatic with floral and woody spiciness; citrus notes with green apple and lemon; sandalwood character; deep barrel effect.

Palate

Sweet entry with baking spices; citrus carries through with green apple and lemon notes; decent mid-palate sweetness without strong rye spice development despite high-rye mashbill and spicy yeast strain.

Finish

Lemon-forward with tea-and-lemonade character transitioning to lemon-head candy notes; slightly thinner texture; nice hug but settles quickly.

Pleasant
A solid and approachable Mizunara introduction that showcases bright citrus and floral qualities, though it would benefit from additional aging to develop deeper character.
