Four Roses Single Barrel Premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey - 70cl - 50% ABV - Award-Winning Smooth and Mellow Bourbon Whisky - Higher Rye Content Than Most Bourbon's

Product Information

Enjoy it neat or with ice cubes, or use its robust flavour to elevate classic cocktails like a Manhattan or Old Fashioned. Compared to other single barrels on the market, this one stands out for me due to the large amount of sweetness the palate contains, along with the large amount of rye in the mashbill.

In a whiskey market that's become increasingly fragmented and allocated, Knob Creek's classic small-batch bourbon distinguishes itself. No one cared about Early Times until Sazerac (Buffalo Trace Distillery) bought it from Brown-Forman (Jack Daniel's, Old Forester, Woodford Reserve).

Palate: Oh, that’s delicate and delicious up front with soft rose water up front fading into strawberry sweetness. The slightly ambiguous term can mean many things but, at the time, it was mainly associated with beverages that combined aged whiskey with grain neutral spirits — a kind of whiskey-flavored vodka.

This exceptional spirit is sure to tantalize even the choosiest of palates with its delightful flavour combinations.Private Selections Single Barrels could be one of ten different recipes and they’re all bottled at barrel strength. The heat lets itself be known without ever getting carried away but it is really the cornucopia of fruit flavors that drove me wild. This single-barrel release from Four Roses is an expressive one, made using a high-rye mash bill and bottled between 7 and 9 years old. It’s relaxing, and it is utterly peaceful and fulfilling, and exactly what you need at the end of a long day.

Four Roses Single Barrel has a fragrant fruitiness from the apple, citrus, and just a little green grape and strawberry that lends to the overall character and depth that I enjoy, and sort of reminds me of Barrell Bourbon Batch 21. If you can get your hands on the bottle — like the Dutton clan did in season 5 of Yellowstone— you’ll be treated to notes of creamed corn, toasted vanilla and a heavy dose of wheat. Like in-state rivals Jack Daniel's, the brand is keen to remind drinkers that the two are not the same (even though they kind of are).There’s a little lightly bitter cocoa powder and oak this time with a small squirt of citrus, apple, honey, and licorice that complement the bitterness on the very long and tasty finish. From your daily sipper to the best bottle to bring to a party, here are the best bourbons to drink in 2023.

So that means that every standard Single Barrel that they sell should be in the neighborhood of 7 years old. With so many new bourbons in the marketplace, it’s refreshing to revisit this carefully curated blend from time to time. Just looking through my collection of Private Selection bottles, it’s common to find Tier 6 bottles ending up over 120 proof while Tier 1 bottles can be as low as 103 proof. Four Roses’s upgrade over its standard offering blends 180 barrels of four different recipes per bottling.It’s in line with other value-focused bourbons from major Kentucky distilleries such as Wild Turkey Bourbon and Old Grand-Dad Bourbon, and changes up the flavor profile enough to provide something that’s attractive to someone seeking a more fruit and floral forward pour. Serve with grilled steak or smoked salmon to savour its full-bodied flavour; the sweetness in this bourbon will mirror the smokiness of both meats while adding contrast from its spicier rye undertones.
