Formerly known as Yellow Label, this is a very popular bourbon, aged a minimum of five years in oak barrels for extra smoothness and carefully blended for a consistently smooth, creamy flavour.

4 Roses Bourbon Review:

At 60 Proof, Four Roses Bourbon is a perfectly drinkable bourbon with a nose of toasted vanilla. Your first taste is of toasted wheat bread, followed by vanilla, toasted coconut and soft wood. The finish is gentle and smooth, with slight wood and vanilla action.

The mouthfeel is full and engaging, with smooth and soft inner mouth action. There is a subtle sweetness, providing a mellow, lingering aftertaste of vanilla, grains, baked bread and light wood.

Again, this is a perfectly balanced bourbon. The rye and wheat character is noticeable, but on the whole, it is simply a perfectly blended bourbon. The only possible thing I could fault it on is that I would like it slightly sweeter, but then this is not meant to be a sweet bourbon, and I doubt I am the only one who would like it sweeter.

In my opinion, this is a fruity rye bourbon with a smoky sweetness. There is vanilla toasted rye toasted coconut and butter. Subtle wood and gentle nougat finish. The flavour is perfectly crafted and smooth.

A lovely rotund and fruity bourbon, with toasty vanilla, citrus and an intense apple finish. It is very wood forward, leather and toasted bread. This bourbon is perfect for enjoying on its own or mixing with other drinks.

This is a very nicely blended whiskey, although again, I would have liked it slightly sweeter . Nevertheless, I heartily endorse this bourbon and will certainly try every batch of it I can get my hands on.
