The Four Roses LE products are usually very good.

Yessir, this one was very good.  Not as good as the 2016 imho however.

I ended up with a couple of 2013 SmBatch LEs and a 2014 SiB LE.  I haven't had any FR LE's since.

Your thoughts on this one?  And didn't you just buy a new one? (or was that someone else).

This is, was, very good.

Yes, I just bought a new one, which I haven't opened yet.

Have been enjoying this bottle with some apple cider while past few weeks. Good thing I have a few more in the bunker. Couldn't pass up $20 for a 1 liter this summer.

This was one hell of a great bottle.  The only hazmat bourbon I've ever had but it drank well below its proof.

The first (and probably last) Russell's Reserve 13 that I'll have.  I was really pleased to find it "in the wild" on a pit stop before summer boating in 2023.  I nursed the bottle, and greatly enjoyed it--I wish I had some Russell's Reserve 1998 to do a side-by-side, but drank that during COVID.  Great bottle, but there are some RRSib's that are close!  Onward, but good memories!

Yes, I like it.
I sure am happy, I’ve got a backup or two  ;-))

To the bin! The FR was fantastic, as were all the others in their own right.

Those standard 4R SiB can be just down right superb.

You retired on top.  Except for the 2015 SmBLE (and possibly the 2019 as well), it's basically been all downhill since then.

Some recent empties for the recycle bin. The final OWA in the bunker, gone forever. One more PHC POH remains after this empty.  Pat

Your vintage collection always impresses me.  I have alot of the older bottles but keep buying new.  I need to follow your lead and start drinking the older stuff as well.

Like my last tour guide at BT said during the tasting,

”Miss Eagle Rare…….well now,……she’s special,………but she’ll love you and leave you real quick……. and I’ve forgiven her every time.”

Not finished, but I did empty these to make some more of my HH BIB Blend. 😉

 

One more thing. My empties will no longer be going to the big brown bin. A friend at my American Legion Post repurposes empty booze bottles. 🫡

So sad to see this one go. 😢 This is one of my all time favorite bourbons. I was blessed by the bourbon Gods to have been able to enjoy a”few” of these over the years. So glad I still have one left in the bunker. 🙂
