Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch 2012 Voted #1 by Whisky Advocate

Four Roses 2012 Limited Edition Small Batch has just been named Whisky Advocate’s #1 whisky of Winter 2012! We are honored to receive such high praise from John Hansell of Whisky Advocate Magazine. Here are John’s notes:

A marriage of four different bourbons, ranging from 11 to 17 years old. This, to me, is benchmark Four Roses: subtly complex, vibrant, yet fully matured, with well-defined flavors of bramble, dry citrus, soft creamy vanilla, caramel, marzipan, allspice, a hint of cinnamon, and subtle cedar-aged cigar tobacco.  Soft, clean, polished oak finish. A very versatile bourbon! Your decision shouldn’t be whether to buy it, but rather how much water to add.  —John Hansell

Advanced Whisky Advocate magazine rating: 96
