Kentucky, UNITED STATES
$550. 00
Bottle
$6600.00 Dozen
ABV: 54.2%
Talked about as one of Four Rose's best bottlings of recent times, this 11 year old is based on their OESF recipe, being a mash bill of 20% rye with a more herbal tasting yeast strand. Only 7122 bottles have been released. The bottle includes a toast from Four Roses Year of the Toast contest to celebrate Four Roses 125th anniversary. The winning toast by Frank Wheatley of Louisville is: “If I could age like bourbon, I wouldn’t mind getting old." Non chill filtered. 54.2% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Aged 11 years, this year’s single barrel release is a lively mix of caramel and bright, zingy orange on palate entry. Cinnamon, vanilla, and mint emerge mid-palate, leading to polished oak, baked apple, and a hint of leather on the finish. A lively bourbon, with crisp, clean flavors and nicely balanced. Another winner from Four Roses. 95 points
