House Review
Intro:
Inexpensive and ubiquitous, Four Roses Small Batch provides a step up from Four Roses' well option and a gap closer between the more expensive Single Barrel. A blend of recipes and ages, this NAS small batch promises a lot with a sub $30 sticker.
Nose:
Bright brown sugar, floral notes on the nose. Toffee, some pepper. Clove. Spicy and floral, with a nice backing of sweets.
Taste:
Sweet on the palate. Medium mouth feel. Toffee, brown sugar, honey. Bit of caramel. Spicy clove.
Finish:
Medium finish, sweet brownies, caramel, honey. Lovely spice that ties it all together.
Overall:
Honestly a total rock star, especially when you consider the price. Four Roses on a budget at its finest.
