Four Roses OESK Single Barrel Bourbon ME 31-2F

The rye and baking spices are strong with this one. I enjoyed this barrel but did hope for a little more complexity. Really wanted some more oak considering this barrel was aged well over 10 years and there was very little sweetness. This is a good representation of an OESK but it left me wanting…

Four Roses “Kentucky Strong” Single Barrel Bourbon 16 Year 6 Months OESV 58.5% RN 36-3S Review

Taste – Strong oak dominates on first sip followed by ripe berry sweetness. Similar to the aroma, once the oak dissipates I get a lot of spice. Black pepper, leather and a slight caramel sweetness.
