Four Roses 8 Year 8 Month Old K&L Exclusive OBSV Single Barrel Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

If you're fixin' for some Four Roses going into the holiday season, we've got you covered with two new potent potions that I picked out at the distillery this past September. The single casks from Cox's Creek warehouse are always some of the most coveted we bring in directly, and with allocations on lockdown from the distillery, our demand for cask-strength, single-barrel Four Roses has never been higher! The OBSV is a 60.8% ABV beast, but it never feels that big on the palate. It's a strong one, but there's loads of cinnamon, clove, oak spice, and vanilla to temper that storm. Bottled at 8 years and 8 months, it's not quite as rich as some of the 9- to 10-year-olds we've bottled in the past, but it makes up for that lack of maturity with precocious punch and intensity.
