Four Roses 10 Year 11 Month Old K&L Exclusive OESV Single Barrel Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Notes

As long as the country's best Bourbon distillery allows us to keep buying delicious single barrels, we'll keep taking them! This is brightest and the boldest of the three new casks; the most powerful at 60%, the most vivacious with lively spice, and the most expressive. At nearly 11 years of age, there's plenty of richness, but the palate is surprisingly lean in the face of all the punch. There's a blast of cinnamon, a jolt of toasted oak, and then a dusting of fresh pencil shavings on the back end. With water, these core flavors soften and then integrate beautifully. This would be a fantastic rocks whiskey because the inherent vanilla flavor, buried deep in its core is released when the proof is tamed.
