The Small Batch select is so good that I don’t worry that I’ll never see this bottle.
Completely agree. For the little extra is blows away the standard Small Batch
Amen
Wish I agreed. Love the single barrel and private selects, sb select is also so disappointing to me
@@MichaelPropstFact
Between Small Batch Select and Single Barrel, I'm pretty good.
Trent really manages to get more of the unicorn bottles than anyone I know
he also pays over msrp for it most of the time
Need a CZcams channel to “uncover” the limited bottles.

0:00 We start strong with Trenton breaking/ruining things with his truck
1:03 Nice guy Harry @ Bee Liquors
2:45 Throw back to a similar bourbon recommendation bit
3:15 Kurt did some research
4:05 Trenton says what a lot of us think, too many letters to make sense
4:24 Future video leak
6:08 Trenton avoids the Q word
8:02 Trenton is very confused, what’s a stewed pear
9:34 The boys are honest with us
10:39 Kurt refuses to speak for other people’s pallets
12:52 Trenton tries to throw his bad bourbon picks under the rug
13:11 nice grammar and nod
You guys should do a "2023 Special Release" blind for one of your Friday blind shows. This Four Roses, Birthday Bourbon, the new Maker's Mark Cellar Age, and then maybe whatever 2023 BTAC you can get your hands on. That would be an EPIC show!
I like this idea
yes! I think the 5th bottle should be RR Single Rickhouse and the 6th should be an underdog (by price) like ECBPC923
@jeremymcbride totally agree! I almost mentioned C923, but I know they already blinded it a couple weeks ago. The Russell's Camp Nelson bottle would be a great one to include.
40% OESK Recipe: 14 Years, 75% Corn, 20% Rye, 5% Malted Barley
35% OESV Recipe: 12 Years, 75% Corn, 20% Rye, 5% Malted Barley
20% OESV Recipe: 16 Years, 75% Corn, 20% Rye, 5% Malted Barley
5% OBSV Recipe: 25 Years, 60% Corn, 35% Rye, 5% Malted Barley
Gents here is the breakdown of the 135. 25 year is 5%.
When Kurt loves something, he finds about 12 tasting notes. Trenton is like “how”? Too funny! Great show guys!
And the notes are the same in most of them. Lol
Hey Kurt & Trenton,
I'd like to see a top shelf Wild Turkey tasting. Generations, Russel 13, Single Rockhouse, Masters Keep.
Thanks
I was fortunate enough to win the opportunity to purchase this year's 135th Anniversary bottle. And they had a bottle open at the bar of the distillery, so that was even better so I could taste it.
"Win an opportunity to purchase." 😂
@@timr0byYeah funny but not enough bottles to put out to the public. If you entered the lottery you would've bought but I paid less than @slbdrinks
@@ebunch1911what was the Price and what did you think?
@@TheTmcabral3 I paid $200 at the distillery and the taste to me was amazing I feel like Kurt it was very enjoyable. Each sip is different.
I've had one Limited Edition, and that was the 2019, and it's an amazing pour!
I like your blind videos. Its unbiased and truthful. When you sip on a bourbon like this (special release, pricey), I feel its only human nature to reach for additional notes to justify the price. Its tough to stay unbiased when you see the bottle and thats not a knock on you guys, as I said before, its only human nature.
I always enjoy the music you select to play in the background of your podcasts. Do you select from a particular playlist?
this is definitely a bottle I would love to have. I would pay the $250 for it. I would probably go as high as $500. I wouldn't go past that. Then again you never know.
Nice to have contacts that can get you guys these bottles, I’m sure you are one of his best customers! I’ve never had the LE but my 4R select is pretty nice. Last night I did a 50/50 of small batch and single barrel and it was the best 4R I’ve had so far!
So, mixing the two was an improvement to both?
You know you have an exceptional bourbon if it starts hitting pear, apple, peach, or berry flavor notes.
Have only had a glass of the single barrel but it was fantastic so I bought a bottle and will get more. Four Roses is just a great bourbon I’m surprised Trenton doesn’t like it. But that’s bourbon. Enjoy!!
I'm a big Four Roses fan. I always have a bottle of the single barrel in the bar and also really enjoy the small batch select. I do not expect to find this special bottle and probably would not pay $250 for it if I do, but if it shows up in my favorite bourbon bar I would like to try a pour. Thanks for the review and the recommendation of the small batch select.
😊KURT!!! TRENTON!!! This was a great video!!! I would love to taste a bourbon like this!!! I need to get into Four Roses more!! CHEERS!!!
I recommend the regular small batch, which is a lot cheaper (I paid $39.99 today) but very good. I enjoyed the one bottle I've had of their regular 80 proof stuff, but it's been a long time and what I'd think of it today I don't know.
Good health lads & a toast to the memory off Michael > I won't see this in my borough. But I appreitiated the effort to make it feel as good as it would have been eventually too enjoy the time you share😊
My friend over the weekend gave us a pour of the Japanese Exclusive Four Roses, and it was really enjoyable. It was a highlight of our yearly camping trip.
I drank 4 roses fifty years ago, and we called it old thumb sucker. My grandfather drank a shot of 4 roses and a raw egg every morning.
I cannot believe you guys got your hands on that bottle!!!🎉
This sounds as if it has bright bourbon flavor profiles. I personally prefer darker, deeper flavors like Elijah Craig Barrel Proof offerings. I guess I just equate those flavors with the age of the bourbon. I also haven't found a blended bourbon I am willing to pay up this much for. Buy, like you, if I get the chance at MSRP, I will be purchasing and sharing the bottle. Great video as always, fellas. 👍🏻
I'm drinking the regular small batch as I watch, and it is a lighter and fruitier bourbon than I usually drink. But it's good stuff, at least occasionally. And Four Roses is *expert* at blending - except for their single barrel juice, it's all blended. They have 10 different recipes that they use in different ways to produce good bourbon.
I will likely never own a bottle, I will never likely own anything in half its price range, but its interesting to hear about it. While it was hard to pick something similar, its a good idea going forward to suggest something similar for expensive or hard to get bourbons on the channel. Even if its only close, it gives those of us on tight budgets something to look for.
Real fan. I enjoy both of you. Keep the videos coming.
Won this bottle through there lottery , can’t wait to crack it on thanksgiving. Great video fellas
Great review. I was fortunate to acquire a bottle of this. As you mentioned, it will sit on my shelf for a while before being opened. Keep up the great reviews.
Awesome. Glad you were able to get a bottle. A little Rich for my Blood. I new to the bourbon tastings/scene and I have watched a few of your videos and one had the Single Barrel 4 Rosses and for my BDay I bought it and will say AWESOME. Have to get another one soon. In my area it ranged 46-58 a bottle. I would love to see the 10 pack tasting of the 4 roses.
Trenton, I think he meant poached or boiled pear. You both make me smile. I love to listen to bourbon lovers.
Great description Kurt!
Kurt thanks for getting me on to toki japanese whiskey. For the price it is really good!
YES. Please do a review on your recipes sampler pack. I’d be very interested in an education on the differences among the four roses recipes!!!
I spend $250.00 easily on single malt scotches so I think if this bourbon is rare and special I would spend that amount on a special anniversary release of Four Roses. I agree it would be a rare sipper to bring out on some special occasions. I don't really experience Four Roses as having the flavours of a traditional bourbon. Scotch prices are going up so much. I just bought a new Coreyvreckan and it was $205.00 before Canadian provincial taxes and we have a 15% alcohol sales tax. Sheeesh! So a lot of my scotch single malts are absolutely sippers on nice occasions and not something I have 2-3 times a week. That's my limit for small neat drinks! We all need to be responsible and I appreciate that you both recommend that! Cheers guys!
I am fortunate i travel through Miami Duty Free about once a month. Always have one liter Buffalo Trace $27. Wild Turkey Rare Bred non chill filtered 1 liter $45 my daily drinkers are great. I won’t pay over $75 for anything as there are so many great whiskeys for that price range.
I'd sure like to taste that! I've never had a bad Four Roses.
While I may not personally ever buy a bottle in this price range, I still appreciate every bottle you review. If your viewers find their palette matches yours, they are better informed before they spend this kind of money.
Got lucky as hell at a local bourbon bar and they let me buy a bottle that they had. I couldn't believe it. Still get butterflys when I see it on my shelf
Four Roses is the best!
I can't wait for Kurt's notes on that Russell's Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson F hanging out back there! Dusty Turkey!
Fast forward to 11:00 when Kurt sums it up- Select for the money everyday over once a year overpricing of a bottle that you will not even see. Thanks guys for the review
Now that it is cold out you should do an allocated cask strength blind
Hey maybe you guys can do a video on all your limited editions or special releases of 2023. I'd like to know how many of them are actually worth the price. Lately I've been purchasing $100 bottles and finding them to be as good as some of my $70 bottles. Makes me reluctant to hunt rare bottles.
Best advice is to go to a whisky bar and try them. Or join a local bourbon group and trade samples. Everyone's pallate is different. You will be surprised when you taste, both bad and good.
For example, I thought 2022 4R LE was very good, but my first stagg jr was disappointing based on the hype. I bet plenty of people would disagree with that take.
Great Show Today. Kurt what is the BEST bourbon you have ever tasted?
Trenton what is the BEST bourbon you have ever tasted? This information would explain your likes and dislikes.
Oooh. I'd love to modify Trenton's task. If you had to blend shelf ready to moderately allocateds like 2XO, Booker's, R13, OWA, etc - what could you blend to get as close as experience as possible? Could be a whole series. Poor Man's Xs
Trenton rules!
It's a blend of their less popular recipes, the OBSO, and OESO are the two top picks of the 10 Four Roses recipes 😋
Yes....OBSV, the recipe for their regular shelfer single barrel, isn't very popular.
Had the option to buy one for 180.00 dollars but with so many excellent burbons available for under 50 dollars I passed and personally don't see myself spending over 80 to 100 dollars on anything Pappy's included. Don't hate but I enjoy Beam extra black, V.O.B and others and feel slightly silly drinking my 90 dollar Blanton's wondering if I really like it or not. Thanks for the review and please keep reviewing the expensive stuff as it is fun to learn about.
P.S. if you could please list burbons that are cheaper, available and similar to the rare/expensive ones thanks!
The price needs to go to what people are willing to pay for it - its simple supply and demand - and they will meet and then you can find it on the shelf for the price people are willing to pay. While I may not pay $150 for a bottle myself - on a special occasion I may go in with 3 buddies to get a $600 bottle once in a while. It would be great if the $600 bottles were available for those occasions instead of having to constantly hunting (increasingly rare to find one), get favors, get lucky in a raffle, or buy one (potentially illegally) from a secondary market person. Basically your allocated bourbons are going to go for $300-$600 or more so why not price them that way at the store.
I won the lottery to go buy one like a month ago at the distillery. saving it to crack after my wife gives birth to our kids in a few months. Seems like a good age statement to celebrate with.
I can’t justify spending $250 for this
I just spent way more and no regrets. I've wanted this ans damn it now I have one
So happy
More like I wish I could afford that
Love you guys. Would like to see you guys install some room acoustical devices to clean up your audio. There’s some chamber noise in your audio. Be wonderful if you could clean it up.
Cheers my friends
I just came back to this and was surprised Kurt said the small batch select would be an alternative option if you can’t find this one. I thought in the livestream this year you tasted a lot of different 4 roses le from 5 years different years + small batch select. I thought the small batch select was so different from the LEs in the blinds. Would you stay with that recommendation if you could offer other bottles as alternatives even if they were allocated?
But for that kind of money, I could snag a 23 year Crown Apple...
😏
I need to find a Harry
I need a Harry in my life.
I had a Virginia, but she quit.
Are you able to review Blaum bros out of Galena Il?
Yeah I can't swing $249 for any whiskey but I'm all for that value hidden gem ryes
Rip SD card
After you’ve opened a bottle. How long till after it starts to lose its taste/go’s “bad”??
Got it for $204 here in Florida.
😁😁
😁
Trenton’s palate needs some refining. $250 for one of the pours of the year.
What's a sweet Carmel forward bourbon at the 20$ range anyone? know I've been trying to find one with that type of profile but haven't been able to.
80$ is my highest so far
It’s been ten years since I was able to pick up an LE at MSRP. Picked one up at the Cox’s Creek gift shop. I was in Southern Indiana for the holiday and a liquor store had one on the shelf and it was like $499 or $599. I just walked out the door and didn’t spend a dime at that place. It may be great, but not worth the hype.
Can you compare the 4 roses line up in a blind?
$150 is typically my cut off. And that price is usually only something I have had before or a lot of recommendations.
Just pick one up for $300 and ive never seen one before and with msrp being $200 i had to get it
It’s killing me that I can’t find this bottle anywhere
I’ve reached that point in my bourbon journey that chasing unicorns has become tiresome. There are multiple bourbons $75 and under that satisfy my palate. I will say the readily available 4 roses single barrel around $55 is a good pour.
I don't spend more than $75 on a pour. WIth 80+ bottles at my bar that I like, I don't I want to spend the money on weeding out the 100"s on up it's not worth it. Besides I'm at the point I have to start finishing what I have now. Maybe grab 10 or so, at Thanksgiving and have a little mixer event. Enjoy 🥃
How
My limit is $80 so I can buy the ECBP's............. ;-)
That was no accident
I think the % is 40, 30, 25 and 5 from youngest to oldest
Did you hide Trenton under a rock as he grew up? How can he not know what a stewed pear is?
Compare it to the Four Roses Small Batch Select.
Hey, this is available near me for 220$ should i buy?
I don't like the small batch select. I keep trying it and it's not for me. Hope this bottle is better
I had a chance to try it about 2 weeks ago and it was good. I would not say outstanding but it was a good pour. Not worth the $250.00 price tag.
I would say few bottles are actually worth that much.
Small Batch Select is sitting there for all to enjoy
“Must try or do not buy” for the new name of the series are any of these new bourbons good?
if i found the four roses LE for $250 they woukd have to scrape me off the ground.
$250 for a bottle is pricey. Add in that he just shrugged that it was ok makes me not even want to look for this bottle. 🥃
MSRP is $200, no? Still expensive, but $50 less than stated.
And you didn’t loose the video?
Hello all question my 50th birthday in on the 13 I want to try and have a good bottle I’ll pay up to $250 I’m open for suggestions
Snarky off point Trent day I see... Way to complex of a dram for Uber simple observations. Dad - nice review
Sounds good but way out of my budget.
What’s going on with your sound lately,It sounds like you’re talking to a mic across the room
The thumb nail pic threw me off. With being so outdoorsy lol. Thought you were going to be recording somewhere else and not in the basement
Yea 4 roses isn't that special to me either
I really enjoy these. Are they really $249? I recently picked up last years release here in Sweden for about $190. Quite a bit of money but now it seems like a good deal.
To me personally speaking, over 10yrs. aged whisky is just too oaky for my taste. 10 yrs. is the sweet spot.
