Sweet on the nose, with berry fruits taking the lead, followed by more traditional caramel and vanilla bean. The initial tasting is quite spicy, with a heat reminscent of freshly minced ginger, or a really vibrant rye. The flavor palette is quite dessert-like with a plethora of baked good characteristics. Very smooth and creamy mouthfeel with a mellow roundness that you often only find in 18+ year old expressions. This is a solid Four roses release that would appeal to just about any bourbon aficionado, but for the hefty price tag. This is a must have for the bourbon collector, but perhaps an impulse buy for those who are hoping for the next Pappy to “cellar” for investment.

Always interesting to "see" what Four Roses big boy blend has come up with. Blending is often overlooked or not fully understood which is okay Ideally a blend done right leaves one with everything good you could want in your glass...and anything you do not want ...not there The nose is fantastic U can pick up some great aromas just pouring this into a glass...tons of fruit The palate is well done Not over oaked Super tasty The finish is good not great As of now 1st pour would rate Nose 4.5/5 Palate 4.5 /5 Finish barely a 4/5 Overall pleased If nose and palate continued into the finish this would be incredible Cheers

Nose: caramel, oak, little cinnamon spice, cookie dough. After a sip more caramel and red hot cinnamon, little pie crust Body: medium to full Palate: caramel, cinnamon spice, little herbal note sneaks in. Little doughy character sneaks in Finish: long and smokey caramel absolutely fantastic with a late Kentucky hug and more smoke. Whoa. Note: ounce from don. A very nice more than solid, excellent dram. Maybe a little rough on the edges but really tasty.

15194/15600 Mahogany color Nose: vanilla marshmallow with banana pastry. Palette: sweet vanilla with marshmallow and orange marmalade, fades to a cherry cola, wow this is all over the place! Chewing brings out some rye mint, cookie dough. Body is medium, but the flavors stick to the tongue. After a while the oak tannins shine on but with more sugar. Seems the OE carry the load on this one. Excellent!

Merry Christmas! What a pour for Christmas Day! Fresh crack. This is crazy good. Nose of cherry, caramel, baking spices and charred wood. Palate is so viscous and oily. Sweet and spicy, toffee, fruity. Musty, sweet oak. Can’t get enough. Finish is long and warm. The sweetness stays on the palate forever. Every part of this pour is equally impressive. Well done Four Roses!

I like this app for the community rankings, but Amanda ranking this an 88 makes me want to delete the app lol I honestly question if we are drinking the same product, and if so I am at a lost for words. If we are not then I understand the ranking lol
