Four Roses 2015 Limited Edition Small Batch. Image courtesy Four Roses. This is the final Four Roses whiskey from longtime Master Distiller Jim Rutledge before his retirement, and he’s leaving with a classic. The nose has notes of cherry pie, cinnamon, clove, vanilla, honey, and subtle hints of dried flowers. The taste is spicy and full-bodied with clove and cinnamon notes that last and last, then fade slowly to reveal hints of dark chocolate, vanilla, orange peel, and honey. The finish is dry with a subtle oakiness and notes of vanilla and cocoa. Outstanding! (August, 2015)
