Four Roses Bourbon Small Batch Barrel Strength Limited Edition 2020 Release 111.4 Proof 750ml

Similar to last year's release, this year's Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch bourbon has a lovely nosed filled with buttery vanilla and complemented with a pome fruit bomb and spiced orange. Each aroma is full represented solidly but also flow naturally with the others creating an overall aroma that is greater than just the sum of its parts. It's sweet on the tip of the tongue with berries & cream covered with crystalized brown sugar. As it hits your mid-palate, the flavors shift with notes of orange peel and toasted oak that balance out the sweetness with bitter - just enough to bring it all into harmony. The finish is long and leaves a very pleasant balance of oak, drying spice a dash of Juicy Fruit. It's not a legendary finish but it's very pleasant and one that I imagine would be complemented with some great selection of candied or chocolate covered fruits. Once again Brent Elliott shows us Four Roses is in excellent hands and that new and long-time fans have plenty to be excited about each fall when the limited edition small batch is released.
