Did you accidentally review the version or some single barrel version? Just double checked, the was This is going to be fairly interesting because if you gave the a 9. Texas — If someone was able to find it at the Specs, they were lucky!
They had about 20 — 25 bottles of the sitting on the shelf from the middle of the summer until the end of December. Once all the reviews started coming out on the , they all vanished. I called the other day and they had 2 bottles left of the January 22, at PM. Still looking for this one around Nashville. I just got the last bottle of LE Single Barrel from my favorite local store. It is amazing so I can only imagine how good the small batch must be.
So glad I discovered your website last month, Jason. January 23, at AM. I tried the LE Single and Small Batch side-by-side in a recent tasting and was disappointed with both. Maybe my expectations were just too high after all the buzz. Thanks for the good eyes on the alcohol content guys! This is the release however the percentage alcohol is written by hand. I did some looking as well and confirmed it is indeed There is no proof noted on the bottle so it was difficult to recognize it for anything but Thanks for catching it.
January 23, at PM. Best Bourbon of the year Jason! You are right on the money! Keep up the great work and I hope to see you soon!
January 24, at PM. Jody — drive an hour north to Bowling Green. Worth the drive, I assure you. I splurged and got it. Jason, you were right; amazing stuff. Great flavors of wood, spice, yeast, fruit, etc. The blending of ages and mashbills is epic.
I have a feeling I got the last one in town. Only one shop had it, and it was their last bottle. January 25, at AM. January 27, at AM. While I am enjoying this Small Batch, I also am not blown away.
As Dean E said, maybe my expectations were too great. January 27, at PM. I just picked up two bottles of this and a bottle of the LE Single Barrel.
Jason, as a new reader I just wanted to say thanks. Thanks for the review Jason. I was lucky enough to score one bottle of this, but have not picked it up yet. Looking forward to my first taste. Have you given up the video reviews on your site? I really used to enjoy them and hope you bring them back soon. January 29, at PM. Oh my goodness…just found a store in town that got an extra batch in…scored one of the remaining bottles. Not all that great for me, nor is the LE Single Barrel.
Got one of each, tasted with my neighbor, he loved Small, I preferred Single over Small. I just never really like the flavors of any FR bourbons. Just not my favorite flavors. A rating that high should, to me anyway, be granted to a bourbon that can transcend flavor preferences across the spectrum of fans and aficionados.
Four Roses may be wonderful to many, but I also suspect it is off-putting—or at least not a delight—for many others.
Pappy 15 from SW got a 9. Thanks for a great blog, Jason. Cheers, and drink your bourbon! February 3, at PM.
A lot of truth in your post but I feel the high scoring wheated bourbons like Pappy are almost too darn smooth for thier own good. With higher rye mashbills you certainly introduce some tough to contain flavors but when nailed I think represent the best of what bourbon can be….
I guess I am saying that while PVW is certainly world class but I give 4roses some extra credit for pushing the envelope a bit. February 6, at AM. February 7, at PM. Josh, Did you find any? They have had two shipments in the Houston area that I know of. Texas is right though, the and are both great. Joe, absolutely no luck. If you get a lead on a bottle here in Houston, let me know. I am headed to Louisiana in a few weeks and in the past have had good luck locating hard to find whiskeys….
February 8, at PM. February 10, at AM. Josh, I hope you found a bottle. February 13, at PM. Thanks Jason. February 16, at PM. August 22, at PM. Must have been clearancing them out for the Looking forward to doing a comparison with your 2 highest rated SourMash Manifesto bourbons. This one and an older PVW15…. Search for:. This was my favorite bourbon of the year by a mile. Carter Hopkins January 20, at PM. Welcome back! Now if I can only locate a bottle of the Matt Ferguson January 20, at PM.

Some dark fruits male an appearance on the palate. More cinnamon. Cherries and baking spices with some maple syrup.
A little spice but this is predominately an explosion of sweet flavors. The finish is much spicier, you still get the caramel but there are also strong waves of rye spice and pepper hitting you. A tiny hint of tobacco lurks underneath. An exceptional bourbon with loads of flavour and a perfect balance.
It is very smooth despite being a barrel proof. What I really like about it is there is a consistency of the amazing sweetnesss across the nose, palate and finish but with lots of different flavors mixed in at each stage. It has a great character too and the fact that you can actually pick up one of these bottles reasonably easily and at a relatively reasonable price makes it even more appealing.
One of the best bourbons and almost as good as the W. L Weller… but not quite! Bourbon See All. Wild Turkey Rare Breed [ Scotch See All. The Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask Review. Rye See All. Few Rye Whiskey Review. Blog See All.
