This exceptional 10-year-old Four Roses OESK single barrel, specially selected by Binny's, offers a captivating balance of fruit-forward sweetness and intriguing spice. Distilled on June 6, 2008, and bottled a decade later, this bourbon delivers a nuanced and memorable sipping experience.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A vibrant and enticing bouquet of ripe red berries, particularly cherry and raspberry, intermingled with sweet vanilla bean and delicate floral notes of rose petals. A subtle undercurrent of baking spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of clove – provides a warm invitation.

Palate: The palate opens with a luscious burst of dark fruit compote, showcasing the rich cherry and blackberry notes. This is quickly followed by a delightful peppery kick from the 'slight spice' of the OESK recipe, harmonizing with warm oak tannins and sweet caramel. A creamy texture coats the mouth, revealing nuances of roasted nuts and a touch of orange zest.

Finish: A long, satisfying finish that lingers with a pleasant warmth. The spice component remains, evolving into a gentle white pepper and dried ginger, while the fruit sweetness slowly fades, leaving behind a comforting echo of vanilla and toasted oak.
