90 proof (Four Roses base)
NAS
Bourbon Cocktail
Four Roses
Four Roses proprietary blend
Nose
Basil-forward aromatics; herbal and fresh; inviting summer profile.
Palate
Smooth and dangerously drinkable; strawberry syrup provides subtle fruit without cloying sweetness; lemon juice balances the fruitiness; bourbon presence clear and spirit-forward; basil infusion integrated throughout.
Finish
Clean and balanced; basil lingers subtly; the bourbon carries through without harsh alcohol burn.
Overall Score
4.2 / 5
A well-crafted, seasonally appropriate cocktail that showcases Four Roses' versatility while the homemade strawberry syrup and fresh basil elevate a classic sour format.
