LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

A connoisseur's bourbon. By isolating a single recipe and barrel, Four Roses delivers a level of nuance and floral elegance that challenges the notion that bourbon is just 'corn and oak'.

The Library Note

Four Roses is unique for using two mash bills and five proprietary yeast strains to create 10 distinct bourbon recipes. The Single Barrel expression is always selected from their high-rye 'OBSV' recipe, bottled at 100 proof to highlight its delicate, fruity character.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Floral and fruity. Distinct aromas of dried spice, pear, cocoa, and maple syrup.

THE PALATE

Ideally balanced. Hints of ripe plum and cherries, robust rye spice, and heavy oak tones.

THE FINISH

Smooth and impossibly long with a delicate, vanilla-rich aftertaste.

Sensory Profile

Neat or with a single ice cube. Its high rye content also makes it an exceptional base for a Boulevardier.
