Four Roses K&L Exclusive OBSF (11 year & 8 months) Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon (750ml)

Notes

As long as the country's best Bourbon distillery allows us to keep buying delicious single barrels, we'll keep taking them! I know we're just getting into summer, but this cask has fall written all over it. The nose is an explosion of mulled spices and dried leaves with a blast of vanilla towards the back. The flavors on the palate are savory at first, with bits of bitter herb cloaked in charred oak. The finish is deceptive in its intensity, beginning slowly with soft accents of dark vanilla, and building methodically towards the encore. Baking spices, cocoa, and whisps of peppercorn. It never boils over, however, finishing with grace and subtlety, even at 56.1%. Lovely stuff.
