Ratings & Reviews (31)

Nose: unpretentious cinnamon and ethanol a little cloves and perhaps some citrus Mouthfeel: a little sleek and delicate Sense of taste: begins delicate with some nectar and pleasantness then styles into the nose with zest and warmth that never gains out of power Finish: long and waiting with cinnamon and oak

This was acceptable however acceptable in the way that numerous Four Roses chooses are. Well that is not a terrible thing it's simply that I have a Binny's OBSO that I like the same amount of and it was $55 without managing the enraged air pocket of publicity encompassing this one. Great however I don't know what makes it stand apart as a LE. Miss you Jimmy.

Tasting Notes

Nose

The aroma seems to be actively escaping the glass, even from a foot away. Close inhales immediately bring to mind old books, enrobed by the familiar perfume of vanillin. A hint of maple syrup fights to the surface, as well as notes of dried date and prune. A soft dustiness, leather, and a heaping helping of raw earth and clay round out the perceived sweetness in the nose. From the balance and complexity shown through long sniffs, excitement builds for the first sip.

Taste

The lack of boozy fire on the nose had me forgetting that this is barrel strength, but the sensation of heat grips my tongue as the first wave washes over. The early palate shows this fiery bite playing nicely with a coating sweetness that exhibits flavors of citrus and honeysuckle. Post-swallow, a soft frosting of candied macadamia lingers, carrying with it a more familiar honey-like note.

Finish

The late palate is clean in terms of excessive bitterness and astringency, but leaves behind just enough seasoned oak spice and a sting of alcohol to allow for a long yet unobtrusive finish.
