Last night I opened a bottle gifted by a good friend from Mississippi,a private selection Four Roses Single Barrel from Maisano's Fine Wine and Spirits Oceanside Ms (OESK mashbill 57.9% alc).Even at that high octane level this stuff is smooth and the flavors are explosive.Absolutely one of the best bourbons I have had to date....Top 3 ever.I'd say even from West Texas this would be worth the drive to pick up another.........or send John some $$$ for another.
