Background: This is an 11 year old Four Roses Bourbon of the OBSQ recipe. This single cask was selected by a total wine and bottled at cask strength. I had this blind so keep that in mind while reading my notes.
Nose: Spiceness, creamy vanilla, tobacco leaves, oak, leather
Palate: Medium mouthfeel, wet but not oily, Spice, leather, tobacco leaves, creamy vanilla, black pepper
Finish: Long, wet, tobacco, leather, vanilla, oak.
I really like this, there’s this spiciness kind of funk to it, the vanilla is sweet but is balanced by the other flavors. Delicious if a bit straightforward and simple.
Rating: 6/10
Guess: Wild Turkey of some kind, RRSiB or maybe one of their export bottles. Between 55-60% abv.

Well, I thought I had nailed down 4RSP and Turkey products but this is why blinds are the best way to taste things!
