Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and mahogany undertones, a warm, sun-bronze hue.
Nose
Cool menthol and bold rye spice rise over lush corn sweetness, with honeyed vanilla and toasted oak grounding the aroma. Caramel notes mingle with citrus zest, while pepper, clove and a whisper of spice linger, signaling depth and the barrel-strength intensity to come.
Palate
Barrel-strength and full-bodied, this 11-year Four Roses coats the palate with rich corn and honeycomb, gliding into sweet vanilla. Menthol lift from the rye meets peppery spice, while oak adds toast and caramel. The finish is long, warm, and lightly spicy, with a lasting whisper of sweetness.
Finish
An enduring finish that coats the palate with velvety vanilla and honeyed corn, then unfurls rye-spice and cool menthol. Oak and caramel linger, yielding a warm, peppery long finish that invites another sip.
