Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
deep amber with light legs
Nose:
sweet and fruity notes like vanilla, raisin, and caramel predominate, balanced with a hint of warm spice.
Palate:
quite soft, with more vanilla, along with honey and a little pear. Finish: smooth and pleasant, if unremarkable. Spice comes through initially, followed by light woodiness and the barest hint of grass. Conclusion: This is a very solid, easy-drinking whiskey for the price point, and I’d definitely recommend it for mixing up a few Old Fashioneds or, given the season, a batch of boozy eggnog. Final Score: 87/100 [graphiq id=”bZ3T0U76hxz” title=”Four Roses Yellow Label Straight Bourbon Overview ” width=”700″ height=”514″ url=”https://w.graphiq.com/w/bZ3T0U76hxz” link=”https://whiskey.underthelabel.com/l/474/Four-Roses-Yellow-Label-Straight-Bourbon” link_text=”Four Roses Yellow Label Straight Bourbon Overview | UnderTheLabel”]
