This is a weird one. A good friend gave me some Four Roses Private Selections some time back, but the selection information is missing from this bottle. I know the agve, ABV, and the recipe, which is enough for me to give it a review. Let's dive in.
Good but not exceptional, which is a relief since I have no idea where it came from. Very on profile for an OBSK in my experience, which I typically enjoy quite a bit. I like it, but I'm not losing sleep to find where I can buy more of it.

House Review
Nose:
Rich baking spice, oak, some floral components but this one smells like a day in the kitchen. Pecan, praline, dough, brown sugar, nougat.
Taste:
Medium mouth feel with heat well in check. Some caramel, faint toffee, nice vanilla bean. Pepper and nutmeg.
Finish:
Medium length in the finish, bit more fruit - like berry - to go along with the baking notes.
Overall:
Good but not exceptional, which is a relief since I have no idea where it came from. Very on profile for an OBSK in my experience, which I typically enjoy quite a bit. I like it, but I'm not losing sleep to find where I can buy more of it.
