Strawberry Basil Sour (Four Roses Yellow Label cocktail)
90 proof
NAS
Bourbon
Four Roses
Lawrenceburg, KY
Nose
Basil-forward with herbal notes; pleasant aromatic profile.
Palate
Strawberry is not overly strong, balanced by lemon juice that counteracts sticky sweetness. Two ounces of bourbon provides a spirit-forward character. Smooth, goes down too smoothly.
Finish
Clean, herbaceous lingering from the basil.
Recommended
A well-crafted summer cocktail where Four Roses bourbon shines as the backbone, tempered by fresh basil and strawberry with citrus balance.
