Four Roses OBSO

An intense, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey by Master Distiller Brent Elliott in Kentucky crafted with a mash bill of 60% corn, 35% rye & 5% malted barley: using yeast strain O. It has an aromatic birth with notes of grains, wood, fruits, nuts, flowers, herbs & spices; while a bold & spicy life adds notes of maraschino cherry, toasted orange rind, caramel, mint, cherry blossom, chocolate mousse pie & brown sugar; that led to a balanced death of medium length with notes of fruit cake, cinnamon stick, black pepper, dry oak, clove, tiramisu, rye, wet tobacco, new leather baseball glove, pine & cedar.
