The Four Roses Bourbon brand has only recently been introduced to the Belgian UK market and I had the pleasure of having one last night before dinner.
This is a Kentucky Bourbon. I had the original Four Roses offering, which is aged for for five to six years and is light bodied.
The nose is very much like Wild Turkey 8 year old, with wood, burnt sugar and honey. Very sweet nose indeed.
On the palate, it releases fresh fruits, spice and oak characteristics.
The finish is medium, with ginger nuts and drying oak.
Good, but no cigar.

What's the Belgian UK market? By the way, I've had Four Roses with coke 15 years ago in Belgium, I'm sure it's not at all a recent addition! In my opinion, it's a very industrial, overly sweet and very flat product that's only good to mix with coke.
