Uncorking Four Roses Small Batch Select Bourbon Whiskey

[@hottoddy2647]

I've got a fever. And the only Prescription, is more Exceptional Mouth Feel!

[@ScottDreyfus]

Christopher Walken... All about that mouth feel.

[@blee5587]

Proud owner of a bottle. Heaven in a bottle

[@mybourbonjourney]

Couldn't agree with you more!

[@kodyadams5561]

THIS IS A TIE WITH FOUR ROSES SINGLE BARREL SPECIAL EDITION AND THE FOUR ROSES SMALL BATCH SELECT . BOTH THESE EXCEPTIONAL KENTUCKY BOURBONS BLOW ANY OTHER BOURBONS AWAY FOR TASTE AND DISTILLATION QUALITY. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@edricksimmons4484]

I'm in the process of getting as many four roses as I can get!!! I love this brand!!!

[@weimarutube]

I finally tried small batch. First sip and it was a keeper. One on the repurchase list for me.

[@andrettski8686]

Uncorked this and didn't care for it much, but after a month of leaving the bottle open for a few hours here and there, it really got better. This has the 1st chocolate note I've ever gotten. I'm glad because it was $65 which is the most I've ever paid for a bourbon.

[@jamesmolleur2196]

This is an amazing bottle for sure. I either drink it neat or for old fashions. Great work guys!

[@McTexicanInColorado]

Glad the Glencairns are back in stock! Just bought one. Great video as always.

[@SDan490]

So I was trying Small Batch Select for the first time while watching this video, and you're right about the spice. I mean it hits you like a slap in the mouth! After a moment I did get the peaches, but to me it reminds me of a peach cobbler that someone dropped the cinnamon container into and then served it without telling anyone. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty damn good... but the spice is just a little distracting. I popped open the regular Small Batch and tried it after the Select , and it was just pure peach cobbler to me. I dunno which is better, I guess it just depends what you're in the mood for, but the Select is definitely a occasional sipper while regular Small Batch is a little easier of a drinker with still decent amounts of flavor.

[@christinedaisy594]

Terrific addition to the Four Roses lineup! They blended an incredible amount of flavor in this bottle at a decent price point and proof. Non-chill filtration a great bonus. 😁 🥃

[@beatricek.2325]

Still one of my faves! a very nice for an every day sipper

[@ghosthacktube]

People really seem to love this one at my annual whiskey and Wings.

[@DieselMike]

I was literally just in the middle of watching your 2018 Christmas Gift Giving video (along with bookmarking your Amazon page and Website) when this alert popped up that you have a new upload. Going to finish watching the other, then I'm onto this one! Great channel.

[@mybourbonjourney]

You'll love it when you try it!

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Thanks, Diesel! Love your name.

[@aaronmiller9537]

I have one coming! Should be here tomorrow. Pretty pumped to try this!

[@Joser167]

Got mine in California and I rate it a 7.5/10. A good daily sipping bourbon for sure.

[@redwingrob40]

Another great review. Love that this has been added to the 4 roses lineup, it’s delicious and for sure worth the price.

[@mybourbonjourney]

Absolutely love this release, got a lot of the same things I'm my review that each of you did. I didn't pick up really any mint on the nose or palate for me. Great vide once again! Cheers

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Thanks, and thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@ScotchTestDummies]

So looking forward to finding this one. You guys are killing it! 11k views in 2 days! See you in October!

[@Zofer-1920]

Wow. I’ve only been drinking bourbon for almost a year and my tasting notes were nearly identical to you guys, pre-water tasting. Lots of spice all over the tongue for sure! It was nice to finally have access to a bourbon reviewed available in California. I can’t imagine the frustration our Canadian friends and others globally have when stuff just isn’t available outside Kentucky. Got lucky with this release.

[@BigWen130]

Bought a bottle yesterday. Waiting for the weekend to open it up.

[@mybourbonjourney]

I'm betting you're going to love it, Cheers!

[@dmhcas]

My bourbon cabinet is Four Roses heavy. It's my go to bourbon. I also live in KY and enjoy visiting all our fine distilleries.

[@NYRfan4ever]

Great review! Finally found me a bottle today. Been buying Small Batch and Single Barrel for years. Good price point on this one only $56 which is nice b/c when it first hit the market here I was told $120. IMO four roses is one of the best widely available quality bourbons. Cheers!

[@MiguelTorres-hg1kn]

Awesome review guys. I cant wait til it shows up in Connecticut. Cheers

[@Alanguz1]

I’ve been waiting for you two to do this uncorking. Perfect timing since I’ll be in Kentucky in 10 days! Thanks for your review

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Early welcome to Kentucky!

[@mybourbonjourney]

You'll love it when you try and buy, cheers!

[@jakewilliams7372]

The label looks like the export bourbon, I can’t wait for mine to arrive!

[@clydelundgren197]

I know I’m going get some heat for this but my buddy and I did a blind comparison of this against Blanton’s yesterday and we both agreed the Four Roses was the winner.

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Clyde Lundgren Hey, that’s what blind comparisons are for! No heat coming from us. 104 proof vs 93 proof, we may have picked the same thing, who knows. We’ll have to do it, too!

[@phtevenmolz5030]

They are pretty much the same MSRP. Either one could win, depending on your personal preference.

[@BourbonandaBaby]

I'm really excited about this release, can't wait until it makes its way to Ohio! Great video as usual!!!

[@rdh5961]

Great job comparing the two. I always look forward to your content.

[@Farcry-yh4mu]

just got one yesterday, can't wait to try, love their single barrel

[@patricklinkous]

With some water, this tastes like drinking a mint julep. This is such a great bottle.

[@georgesteckert6334]

It took until now for this to appear on the shelf of our Fine Wine & Good Spirits state owned store in Gettysburg, PA.

[@gocats132]

Drove to Louisville and found a bottle at Kroger..can’t wait to open it up

[@maboy1994]

Another great review and love the new Glencairns! You'll enjoy FRSBS if you like the following: Drake, mimosas w/ brunch, iPhone X, ect...

[@jasoncoates1835]

One cannot quote Bob's Burgers too many times in any episode.

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Jason Coates This is true!

[@Andreas-1979]

I hope this one will also be available in Germany. In the meantime I have to drink the Yellow Label. Cheers Chad and Sara!

[@copsarebastards]

My girlfriend is german and sometime soon I'll be moving to be with her, not being able to get as many varieties of bourbon is something I was concerned with, but as long as i can get classics like four roses I'll be fine :D

[@JmanEspresso]

Just bought a bottle of this and had it last night, and naturally I had to come see what ya'll had said about it again.. BOOM with the spice! I actually got hit with the spice right in the throat on one of my.. more... aggressive... sips, and it was like... WOW can I just breathe please. lol. however, aside from that.. a really interesting bourbon for sure. I get some fruit, a good amount of tannin, but pleasant enough, and again a nice rich finish. I think thats what I like the most about bourbon, is that rich finish, and the more the proof goes up, the more that seems to go up. Guess Im chasing the numbers now, but, ill own it :)

[@fushnick06]

On the nose I get a chocolate malt ball like whoppers and on the palate a mint chocolate flavor...and that exceptional mouth feel 🙂

[@erikevenson4303]

i love the regular 4 roses small batch.. will you do a comparison in the future?

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Erik Evenson I think we could manage that.

[@YouGetSoAlone]

It's Bourbon Night I’d like that too, guys

[@diehardbrownsfan1]

Loves your all’s videos. Best bourbon channel out there.

[@TheBourbonRoad]

Great review as always! Definitely enjoy this new expression.

[@mark5ization]

Great! -I should be able to find this on the shelves in my state in around two years :-/

[@rostislavtraps7148]

just picked up bottle today, looking forward to drink it. It’s $15 more, than single barrel, which I used to pick up at Costco for only $33, not available there anymore and it’s $45 at Binny’s

[@jeffwinbush5039]

Big fan of the Four Roses Small Batch. I'm hoping it shows up in Columbus so I can become a fan of the Small Batch Select too. Thanks, guys. I love you 3000!

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Someone's seen Endgame. Love you 3000 back!

[@mattbailey3156]

Spice bomb love a good Tongue dance . Great review !

[@danielbennett7127]

Wish I could get this in VA gonna have to shop Maryland to get this.

[@robertsullivan4773]

First time here, she's very pretty so you get ten points right away. I like your presentation and your detail. I'm a scotch drinker for to many years to count nor want to but a few months ago decide to brach out to Bourbon. I learned a lot from you about Four Roses this time. I have two bottles in my bar now, A single Barrel and a Single Batch, now I know what it all means. I just subscribed and liked.

[@gentslounge]

Just tasted this on our channel! So good. We could drink Four Roses all day everyday!

[@great207]

I have to try this!

[@wagner31415]

I saw this one today for $60 and almost bought it... You guys have twisted my arm, I'll pick it up this weekend.

[@TommyD28]

Awesome intro sound track

[@Vahan210]

$49 at Costco in Los Angeles area. The one near me is on sale for $40. Most markets and liqueur stores its at mid 50s to $70.

[@thseeker1]

I hear the Select needs time after opening. So I wonder how the two would compare after the both have been open for similar amount of time.

[@westerngroovetv]

Just picked some up couple weeks ago. Taste so good. Was disappointed in the smell. I feel like the regular knob creek i also got had a more complex fun smell

[@StrainsYT]

I opened a bottle of this today, and I thoroughly enjoy it. Spicier than any other four Roses I've had. I may prefer the single barrel OBSV by just a tad. The honey note I get with that is decadent in my opinion. It's always bourbon night in my household 👍 Edit: apparently this is a yearly release? If so, I will definitely be purchasing on a yearly basis.

[@mitchmaglio1363]

Ok...I all OVER this small batch AND the classes :)

[@albenjammin]

Loving the intense music for the reveal. LOL great job as always.

[@joegreen3163]

I’m all about that non chill filtered life as well! I can’t wait to open mine. Would you do a head to head with WT101? Don’t ask me what I’ll do for a Klondike bar. Haha. Cheers 🥃

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Joe Green Yeah, we could do that!

[@JoshChristiane]

I have every bottle of Four Roses, and they're all really really good, but very spicy. For sure one of the more spicy brands, other than maybe Wild Turkey. I don't actually taste a huge difference between all of them, they're pretty consistent overall. The best one though to my mouth is the Single Batch, with that said though it's really not that different than the $18 bottle, so if you're looking for a good deal don't pass up the cheaper option, it's still excellent despite being a little more watered down. Of any brand I've ever had, this line is the most consistent throughout, the top stuff really is not THAT different than the lower shelf stuff.

[@mark5ization]

1:12 - He said "mouthfeel" again, YESSSS!!!

[@khaunleper]

hmm, im excited to try this, but i cant find it where im at.

[@mybourbonjourney]

It will be distributed everywhere very soon, keep an eye out. Cheers!

[@baconator1550]

I f’ng love this bottle

[@clifflash7274]

Hey Guys, Derby tomorrrow! I love this - it's in ATL now. Jason overt at M&D is GAGA over the chocolate! Cliff: GO CATS!

[@WilsonRamonTorres]

Nice glasses!

[@garystreet4260]

It’s good... wait it’s pretty good... wait it’s very good!

[@johndonnelly5971]

Spicy peach yeah baby

[@DerekPoore]

Once on a trip in a hotel I accidentally began brushing my teeth with a mini tube of icy hot because I didn’t have my contacts in and ... /scene.

[@actionairestudios]

I just had a glass of Buffalo Trace and I haven't had whiskey neet in years. Trying to get past that heavy medical taste. I do have a bottle of Four Roses Small Batch Select on the shelf just waiting for the right time.

[@timp718]

Surprised you didn’t mention that it is only available in 5 or 6 states at this time. I scored 2, and am waiting to open and enjoy with friends. Cheers.

[@trishlovesme]

Chad, question? Do feel 4 roses small batch is more consistent than the single barrels?

[@ItsBourbonNight]

With Four Roses specifically, I don't know, I haven't been drinking the regular single barrel much lately, but for small batch vs. single barrels in general, yes I think the small batch usually has more consistency.

[@sdalal591]

Ur videos are nice! I'm very glad I discovered ur channel. Question. I bought the Suntory Hibiki Harmony as my first bottle ever, but it was too strong for my taste and simply nasty in my opinion. Is bourbon sweeter? Do you know a good Caramel Honey Butter yum yum bourbon? Price maybe under 100 $. God bless u.

[@JoseMtz02]

Exceptional Mouth Feel Triple Drink!! Bourbon Hipster? “You’re my boy Blue!” 😂🤣 #SuperFriends Another amazing video love the comparison, but didn’t take the spot light away nicely done.

[@brmicmatthews8398]

Does Four Roses chill filter their regular small batch?

[@boredinibiza]

I really thought their next one was going to be a Rye. Not sure I understand this one's market spot, it's so similar to single barrel in price and maybe even profile. I had them side by side at the distillery, I remember getting spearmint on mine. I guess it appeals to small batch non chill fans. =/

[@trishlovesme]

We're can I get it in Florida!?😁

[@mybourbonjourney]

Hey Charles hasn't hit Florida yet I believe, hope I'm wrong for your sake. When you do see it, buy it, cheers!

[@jeffberner992]

If you’re close to Georgia, you can drive there and get it .

[@qlfnj1845]

the fourth rose

[@10K2HVN]

"Effervescent" is the word you're looking for ;) Four Roses Small Batch Select In the hand: Inviting, medium-tobacco, almost sweet Nose: Light fruit, light ethanol, light orange zest, stronger (medium-light) ethanol, very light southern sweet tea, light oak, light tobacco, sweet tobacco, light sweet tea Palette: Spice, heat rush and fall, lightly creamy, oak, bitter, bitter tobacco, medium finish Super great on the nose: 8/10; not so great on the palette: 5/10. I would be content at $35 for one bottle, (paid 60) but even at nearly half price I would still not buy again. Freshly opened, but we'll see how it is after time. I wouldn't recommend it at the price I paid.

[@jinglinjoe299]

What would you recommend for the 60 dollar price point

[@jalford383]

I am just glad there is no brunt tire flavor.

[@mrrednick81]

Why do I keep replaying the intro? Love four roses

[@GhostCob]

Alright here it is… We need a blind taste of all of them. That way I kinda want to know which one to buy.

[@xx360xxmw2xx]

like a minty finish

[@jjlittle81]

The price of the limited 130 is around a thousand dollars today.

[@topflight250]

Fill in the blank: If you like _______ , you'll love Four Roses Small Batch Select.

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Bourbon. hahah just kidding. I would say if you like the taste profile of the regular small batch and the proof of the single barrel, you'll love this one.

[@ce2flaco]

@@ItsBourbonNight Great. I've enjoyed all of their offerings so I'm excited to try this one as well.

[@patrickfulmer9596]

These ten different recipes puts me off Four Roses a little. "Programs! Get your program, Can't tell your 4Roses without a program!" So I let you guys figure it out. I love bourbon with a fruit note. Putting this one on my shopping list.

[@ScottDreyfus]

SiB is taking a price increase. Store picks are also taking an increase.

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Scott Dreyfus Ah, great

[@ScottDreyfus]

@@ItsBourbonNight I feel your pain, we are the bastard step child of Atlanta, so unless I want to drive over 200 miles round trip, I have a hard time finding regularly available items.

I grabbed a bottle today

[@richardiandoli7437]

Just cracked a bottle of this and had it with chocolate chip cookies....delicious.

The hottest couple in bourbon!

Oh, stop ;)

[@eugeneasahara2619]

Would you say you have a plethora of facets? … maybe there was no reference where I thought I heard one.

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Eugene Asahara Oh I wish! I love 3 Amigos and I’m sad I missed an opportunity for that reference.

[@johnwebster4910]

Heavy Pour!

[@tombryan1]

Nothing like an exceptional mouthfeel.

[@FNGWhiskey]

Man I think I’m a minority here. I didn’t like the Spearmint finish. I have had about three tastes hopefully it opens up more.

[@goldenddd]

Just ask your viewers to send it to you. If there is something in the West that u can't get I would be happy to send it to you, sealed

[@rayray5195]

Peach cobbler.

[@jalford383]

Chocolate, never , more cherry and I don't Know!!!

[@hybridm3]

I was very disappointed with this. It’s very spicy! The more I drink bourbon the more I realize I’m not a fan of rye and the spice that comes with it. The spice seems to cover up some of the other flavors that I prefer.

[@darkmeatchicken9416]

3 words....Drink. More. Bourbon.

[@502Aviation]

Just my two cents, but I found thistles bourbon too spicy to enjoy neat. I had to add water to tone down the heat and get the flavors. Sara hits the nail on the head in describing what is not necessarily a mint flavor, but a cool, minty style mouthfeel. Had there actually been a mint flavor, I would've been put off by this bourbon, as I absolutely hate mint.

[@doxasnob8137]

And now you can't get it!

[@joseluismckenna1844]

First

[@squiremuldoon5462]

On the nose all i get is alcohol with a little something, and on the taste all i get is alcohol with maybe a little something else. I have a hard time enjoying anything above 10% abv =(
