“Vanilla and toasted oak aromas with a hint of dark cherry and a fruit forward that gives way to toasted oak and pepper, concluding with warm and clean finish of leather and tobacco.”

93 Points & #3 Top 20 Whiskies of 2019 – Whisky Advocate:
The limited-edition releases from Four Roses are always top-notch, but this bourbon is a permanently available addition to the lineup and proves itself every bit the equal of its rarer brethren. Made with the distillery’s F yeast strain, among others, it has a perfumed nose, with orange blossom, cedar chest, berries, spearmint, tobacco leaves, sassafras, licorice, and layers of earthy spice. The palate is consistent and deep, with flavors of cherry Coke, cough syrup, orange oil, leathery dark fruit, black pepper, chili flakes, and chocolate, shifting into a minty finish replete with pepper, cinnamon, dark chocolate, cooked berries, and roasted walnuts. Full, rich, and utterly satisfying.”
