OVERALL RATING
Most whiskies are blended for optimal quality and flavor consistency. When blending is used to achieve something more heady, like to celebrate one of the most important figures in whiskey today, the creation of a unique expression of a much-loved bourbon stock is something that bourbon enthusiasts should certainly get excited about.rnrnIn the case of Al Young’s commemorative batch, it’s the bottle of Four Roses that I will be most excited about returning to in the future. Not because it’s rare or special, but because it marries together so many of the elements that I love over the masterful spectrum of Four Roses’ various releases.
