Four Roses Limited Edition Single Barrel Bourbon 2011Four Roses Limited Edition Single Barrel Bourbon 2011 Review

Bourbon: Four Roses’ 2011 Limited Edition Single Barrel Bourbon

Distillery: Four Roses, Lawrenceburg, Kentucky

Age: 12 years old

Proof: 118 Proof, 59% ABV

Color: Medium to deep amber

Nose: Floral, roses

Taste: Chewy and bright with awakening tones. Strong hints of rye, ripe fruits, and caramel and well-balanced in this OBSQ recipe. Yet another delicious layer of Four Roses 10 Recipes are unveiled to Four Roses fans. While this is a barrel proof Bourbon, the smoothness of this Bourbon doesn’t taste 118 proof.

Finish: Luscious citrus and Bourbon juiciness wrap around the mouth and stay with a delightful candy like nature, though not in a overly sweet fashion.
