This is an OESV recipe single barrel Private Selection from Four Roses that was selected by 107 Liquors. At 10 years and 3 months old, this one is on the older side, so I'm looking forward to this one. Let's dive in.

House Review
Nose:
Toffee, waffle cone, red berries and custard. Sweet, fruity, fairly decadent.
Taste:
Medium mouth feel, some caramel, praline, honey, red berries and a rich clove note. This is quintessential four roses and it is delicious. Heat is in check, clearly a lower proof bottling.
Finish:
Heat grows a little with time, rich clove, tannic oaky structure and some toffee. Really nice transition here, without becoming too tannic.
Overall:
I don’t always find myself a fan of OESV but this is striding just right. Yum.
Score:
85
