Four Roses
Lawrenceburg, KY
20% rye
Nose
Bold rye spice with caramelized sugars and oak. Citrus notes emerge with extended nosing. Dark amber color with excellent legs suggesting structure and proof.
Palate
Huge burst of citrus and caramel on entry. Baking spices and cinnamon develop through the mid-palate with strawberry jam and baked apple pie notes. Earthy undertones emerge with continued tasting. Peppery rye spice stays on the tip of the tongue throughout.
Finish
Long and complex, transitioning from oak and citrus to caramel and cinnamon spice. Pepperiness lingers on the finish without drying out.
Above average
A beautifully structured rye-forward bourbon with impressive balance between citrus brightness and baking spice warmth.
