Description
Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon is a testament to Kentucky's rich distilling heritage, artfully crafted using a blend of four distinct bourbon recipes. Each sip of this straight bourbon offers a harmonious balance of flavors, drawn from the unique combination of two mash bills: one featuring 60% corn, 35% rye, and 5% malted barley, and the other with 75% corn, 20% rye, and 5% malted barley. This intricate blend is enhanced by two carefully selected yeast strains, contributing to a complex profile that is both light and spicy, as well as rich and fruity. At 45% ABV, the whiskey delivers a bold yet smooth character that is immediately apparent on the nose, where notes of ripe fruits mingle with a subtle hint of spice. Upon tasting, expect a symphony of flavors where the sweet undertones of corn and vanilla seamlessly blend with the warmth of rye spice, followed by a gentle oaky finish. The layered complexity of this bourbon makes it an excellent choice for sipping neat, allowing the depth of flavors to fully unfold. For those who prefer their bourbon with a slight chill, serving it on the rocks can soften the edges, mellowing the spice and amplifying the sweeter notes. A splash of water might further unveil its nuanced layers, highlighting the fruity aroma and bringing forward the subtle hints of caramel and toasted oak. This versatile bourbon also shines in classic cocktails; its rich and balanced profile makes it an ideal candidate for an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan, where it complements the bitters and vermouth without being overshadowed. To fully appreciate its aromatic intricacies, enjoy Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon in a Glencairn glass, which is designed to concentrate the scents. For a more laid-back experience, a sturdy rocks glass provides the perfect vessel for leisurely sipping. Whether you're exploring its complexities neat or enhancing your favorite cocktail, this bourbon offers a refined taste of Kentucky tradition.

Had a glass at poker night. Smooth enough to sip straight but the spicy kick surprised me. Definitely stands out from other bottles we had around the table.
Response from CBC Liquors, Westford
Glad you enjoyed it on poker night, if you liked that bit of spice, try the Four Roses Single Barrel sometime for even more character.

My brother likes bourbon way more than I do, so gave him the rest of this bottle and he finished it fast. Not really my thing but he swears by Four Roses Small Batch.
