not every effort works for every palate, but up and down their lineup Four Roses might be the best bourbon producer out there.

Well, I did not like the Small Batch nearly as much, haven't had a chance to sample much else. Will look at some of their other offerings, but the single barrel so far is hitting the sweet spot in price/flavor for me.

Took at a look at that, seems to only actually show 4 products produced. Have to try their yellow label and the small batch select. Thing about the small batch, there was a harsh note, one that the single barrel, with a higher proof, did not have. Anyway, I've so far settled on the 4 Roses Small Batch and Basil Haydens as my two current favorite bourbons, but need to keep sampling others. I haven't gotten around to sampling a lot of bourbons as sipping whiskeys (mostly stuck to scotches for that in the past), so I need to revisit some oldies like Makers. Was not super thrilled with the flavor of the Mitchener's I'd had recommended to me, which just goes to show how everyone's palates are different. Don't feel like chasing rare bourbons, that market is worse than the rare/limited cigar market!
