I havent missed a 4R SmBLE going back to 2015. I'll still pick one of these up but that "cinnamon red hot" note is not something that I like in bourbon.
everyone is complaining about the price but look at all these new releases that are pretty basic but "unique" and they are going for 120-190... i can't blame 4 roses for wanting to get some money back especially knowing this will go on secondary markets. I'm just so over these exclusive releases. Everything is "special" but it's really not.
I've had a few pours of Four Roses over the years and I've never liked them until I tried the 2022 LE. Based on your review I think I'd be better off finding the 2023 LE. Thanks Subscribed
Unlike other distillers that put out a variety of special high priced releases, Four Roses just has one each year. It’s a blend of their regular recipes at different ages. I respect this approach - the master distiller is saying he is taking the best of their best and putting them together using his skills to deliver this bottle one time each year. I’ve got 10 bottles of their single barrel, barrel strength picks covering 6 of the recipes. The oldest is 11 years, so I’m not likely to home blend anything approaching the LE. I’d say if you love bourbon and have enjoyed Four Roses it’s worth dropping $350 or $400 once to own an LE. I’ve got the 2022.
I’m def a Roses fan, but doesn’t sound like this years 2024 release is worth that much more than a lot of SBBS picks that I have bunkered. I honestly wasn’t too impressed with last years 135th as an LE. For now I’m sticking with the bunker.
In my area TN the POS distributors sat on the last 3 years of 4R LE and those only hit about 6 months ago. So ill see this one in a couple years.... maybe
Thanks for your transparency on what you paid for your bottle!! Also I would like to put in an order for some of those biscotti cookies your mom makes!!!!! They sound amazing!!!! Cheers!!
Thanks for letting us know what you paid. When you're in the thick of it, it's easy to forget that most of us don't have the time or energy to camp outside Giant Eagle at 4am, so it's secondary or nothing.
Great review as always Jason! I've been a 4 rose's fan for years. Wish I could find one of these in Michigan! Hey, did I pass you on the elevator at a motel in Bardstown yesterday?
Was able to get 2022 (2x) and 2023 for under 200 euros here in Germany. If the 2024 LE comes for 220...maybeeee☺️. Resale 450 $ in us, no thank you. 2022 and 2023 are great, I'm wondering about the bottlenumbers. Here in Europe the bottles have a number of ca.5000 every year. US 15000...Is it the same batch? The alcohol notification is equal. However great Bourbon. One of the best, maybe the best Bourbon you find in Europe
@@jameslane9267 I don't think they are talked about enough. Pricing is pricing. If anything says limited edition on it it gets jacked up. But birthday bourbon, btac and other releases get most of the fanfare.
"Still under rated"? Never seen it on a shelf, doubles & triples on the secondary, and ive only had a shot at one in a raffle. I think its appropriately rated.
I am surprised you have to pay secondary on any bottle. I assumed with being as popular of a channel that you have you would get some of these limited bottles mailed to you straight from the distillery for reviewing.

lol many ppl here complaining abt the price, acting like they're gonna actually see one. Let's be truthful, we're all gonna beluy it at msrp no doubt
I love Four Roses, but $220+ is just not what I want to budget for. Too much available less expensive bourbon out there.
I can close the video without watching the rest of this now, thank you
I might buy at msrp but probably skip. Just too much money

Dang I didn’t realize that the retail was now $220. Makes me wish I had picked up the 2016 and 2017 at auction for $300 apiece, doh.

Got to taste it from a buddy that sat in line at KYBF and it’s a pass for me. Def not worth the price and way too much “Red Hot” flavor for me.
I feel like the barrel strength single barrel store picks are a way better value at $100 vs the $220+ for this LE.
Another awesome video 👍
What type of glass do you use when you’re enjoying bourbon off camera?
Love the review, Jason! Sounds like a good pour! Get rich or die drammin’😁🙏🥃
Jason, That was a very cool review of the LE. I'll enjoy my LE bottle even more now.

Where in Germany? I live in Switzerland and would love to get one!
I think your Mom is going to have to bake biscotti for the next get together.
Been hard for me to justify that price but would love to have one of these.
It was awesome meeting you and your mom at the Willett bar on Friday!
I am an old Four Roses fan. Anything 11 plus years is 🔥
what name brand stemmed glens are you using?
I have not been fortunate enough to see one on the shelf. 😢
Man, I hope I get my hands on this bottle …
How can something be considered “underrated” when it’s not able to be found for anything less than double MSRP? Sounds pretty highly rated to me

Sounds amazing! Need to find one 😆
I stopped chasing bottles in that price range a loooooong time ago! I’m sure it’s good but I’m priced out….
👍
WHISKEY CHEERS 😎

Everybody raves about 4r, every bottle I have gotten disappointed me. Single barrels. And sb barrel picks
I am surprised you have to pay secondary on any bottle. I assumed with being as popular of a channel that you have you would get some of these limited bottles mailed to you straight from the distillery for reviewing.
I stopped watching at $220. Ridiculous. 🖕
Single barrel store picks better IMO
Love Four Roses juice. Wish I could get my hands on a bottle of this.
4 roses makes some Great juice 😋 👌 👍😉 Cheers 🥃 Worth the price in my opinion
These are just bottles to brag you own one nothing more really
