(Notes) Most of our members have had Four Roses other bottles and have been off put by the brand which is why we haven’t reviewed this one before. However, a member requested it so we tried it.
The reality is, this isn’t a bad bottle of whiskey aside from the weird marmite flavor we all got. Next to other $40 bottles, it falls pretty short of what we expect. If you get this as a gift or it just happens to be available, you might like it. Otherwise, we’re not sure what the hype is about.
