Four Roses has 10 traditional recipes that they blend to create each of their bourbons. This year’s 2014 Limited Edition Small Batch is derived from the 13-year-old Bourbon from Four Roses’ OBSV recipe, 12-year-old OESV, 11-year-old OBSF and 9-year-old OBSK.
It has a wonderful sweet nose to it coupled with an orange, citrus note. The sweet smell is delivered trough a honey and orange taste upon sipping. It finishes with some minty heat. The particular bottle here is 55.9% Alcohol by Volume, so the 111.8 proof adds to some of the heat as well.
They made 11,200 bottles so hunt long and hard, it is worth the search.
