Four Roses Small Batch Select.

Because bitches love small batches.
Don't worry. We're in no hurry.

There's a good bit more flavor than regular 4R, as the proof is higher.

It's sweeter, too, and the oak is more present on the finish, which is longer.

It's less watery. I'm thinking it's basically just an amped up 4R, with nothing novel to contribute really.

I like it better, but I'm not sure if the price jump makes it worthwhile. You're paying almost 3x for this one after tax.

3x the price? Ouch. But a longer finish and a stronger flavor do sound nice.

In the latest installment of UK bourbon prices don't make sense.....regular Four Roses is £25 a bottle here which is overprices...however the small batch (not the select) is only £27 which doesn't seem bad.

Damn, I should've bought the regular small batch for comparison today.

Tall cans of cold beer, and the occasional double shot of Four Roses. Happy Friday drinking, people, let's have enough so that we may wake up tomorrow drunk instead of hungover!

Polishing off a barley wine at the moment. Going for a Backwoods Bastard before moving onto cheaper brews. Should be a fun night. Cheers!

My new regular beer - PBR. Will add in a little whiskey later tonight.

I give the clerk exact change for the 12 pack, 12.49. The coins are a quarter, a dime, and 14 pennies. I hope they don't mind.

I always appreciated exact change.

I love when I happen to have exact change. I get out of the store much faster.
