House Review
-
Intro:
This is a cask strength, single barrel release from Four Roses, featuring their OBSV recipe.
-
Nose:
Clove, toffee, vanilla, allspice, pepper, caramels and sweet melon. Floral, sweet, spicy. Nice complexity here.
-
Taste:
Medium, some heat, rich cocoa, honey, vanilla, floral fruits and pepper. Strong oaky backbone. Really diverse, and the cocoa is surprisingly prominent. The oak is a bit heavy handed though and it starts to dive into the dirt near the end.
-
Finish:
Oak, tobacco, dry earthy pepper.
-
Overall:
Too dry and oaky, spicy for my tastes. I was a little surprises since OBSV doesn't usually come across this dry to me, but this was an outlier for sure.
