Stop and Smell the Roses.

I tried Four Roses Small Batch a couple of years ago and remember not being too impressed.  Recently I thought I would give it another shot.

Four Roses

The nose is deceptive and does not foretell its taste.  The smell is of clear alcohol, almost like vodka with a just a hint of brown sugar.  It has wet mouth feel, not dry.  Flavors of white pepper and brown sugar come through.  It has some heat on mid-tongue but not harsh (90 proof).  It has a sweet finish.  Not spectacular, but not as bad as I remember.  I rate it at 78.  If you are looking for an easy drinking dram, give it a whirl.
