Tasting Through Four Roses

Four Roses may not exactly fly under the radar, but it can seem like it - or certainly seem under appreciated. Well aged, barrel strength, variety of flavor, and accessible. If nothing else, Four Roses is a brand that can be taken for granted while brands around it charge high and higher for less quality. Today, we taste through a variety of store picks and limited edition releases and break down a bit of variance in the brand.

Barrels we tasted through:

• Liquor Barn ‘Derby Bottle’ 11 year 2 month OBSK 52.9%

• Macadoodles 13 year 10 month OESO 54.2%
