We love selecting single barrels from Four Roses-- year-in and year-out, the quality is clearly evident. This year's OBSK is no different! OBSK is a particular favorite for Bourbon lovers who like intense, spicy flavors. It's smooth and mellow like all Four Roses Bourbons, but the mashbill and yeast strain combine to create their spiciest recipe. Here's the OBSK flavor profile as described by Master Distiller, Brent Elliott:
Nose: OBSK is dominated by aromas of rich, clean rye and hints of lighter baking spices. Palate: The rich rye tones also dominate the palate at first sip, before seamlessly transitioning into flavors of allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon. As this recipe ages, the robust, bright flavors mellow into deeper and richer tones, as the oak, caramel and vanilla flavors increase.
