The Four Roses Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon is available in Norway at NOK 600 (1943501).

Nose: Gently fruity and sweet with caramel swirls and creamy vanilla. With time, notes of unsalted peanuts, toasted oak and a touch of citrus emerge.

Taste: Medium to full bodied. White pepper and earthy cinnamon lead a dry-leaning profile. Medium sweetness builds gradually as tropical fruits surface, joined by a delicate hint of rose water.

Finish: Medium long. Caramel and vanilla return alongside white pepper and ripe banana, closing on soft oakiness.

Comment: Spiced sweetness with tropical lift.
