And I appreciate the info they disclose. But that doesn't mean that they're free from overhype, and they're toeing that line. One thing is certain, the writer-retailer-fueled hype for their limited editions is now stratospheric.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-13535255740197863182014-06-06T19:59:53.848-04:002014-06-06T19:59:53.848-04:00I've had up and downs with Four Roses, I think...I've had up and downs with Four Roses, I think it trends on the side of hype now.

The first couple pours out of the bottle are never my favorite. The stuff needs to breathe a little.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-91883403886777826962014-06-05T03:25:20.323-04:002014-06-05T03:25:20.323-04:00I recall having an OESK that was 10 years old that...I recall having an OESK that was 10 years old that was really good. The spicy K yeast is probably one of my favorites. For a weird Four Roses, you can look for the herbal yeast F which makes an odd, well, herbal-ly bourbon. <br /><br />Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215982348779717643noreply@blogger.com
