Intro:
Four Roses Private Selects are some of the best quality and value in bourbon today. This is an OESK pick from Chucks retailer and is just a hair under 10 years old.
-
Nose:
Sweet cream, caramel. Its nutty and sweet with lots of vanilla, floral notes and a heavy butterscotch presence. Theres faint cocoa notes but this leans squarely in the the sweet and caramelly/toffee/butterscotchy notes park.
-
Taste:
Rich mouthfeel, medium thickness. Sweet caramel, sweet vanilla and a whole lot of butterscotch. Theres some light oakiness, to pair with toffee, cocoa and some nice floral notes also.
-
Finish:
Long and sweet with surprisingly tame heat. Complex and sweet, the finish is nice and buttery. Lots of floral sweets here.
-
Overall:
This is a good pick, and I really enjoyed it. I love the OESK profile and this will score highly. I enjoyed how much flavor there was and the sweet direction it took. The finish is really what sold me though after a really nice palate. This can't top my favorite OESK to date, but it's made an admirable display.
