All Four Roses Bourbons RANKED Tier List 

i enjoyed their distillery too! one of my favorite things happened there...when i went to buy my ticket, he asked if i was military. I said I am former, and he said my tour is free. I asked him "dont you need to see my ID?" and his response was "i believe you...if you're lying to get a free tour, you have much more problems than me and might need the whiskey." Loved them ever since lol

i think they are MUST buys for anyone who comes across one! 4R lovers or not, they are must buys imo

Maybe should’ve given it more credit. Like I said in the video, my better half thoroughly enjoys cocktails I make with it so it definitely has its place!

@@TheBourbonWrench There are no wrongs in bourbon. Every dog has it's day. Thats one of my favorite aspects of the spirit.

Honestly it’s tough to go back down from those, but as long as you have the right expectations, you’ll be alright. The main thing is try other recipes!

@@TheBourbonWrench oh I plan on it if I come across another.

perfect. picked my first up today so i’m excited. i knew i should’ve grabbed the small batch select tho!

What did you think of it when you first got it? And then, what do you think of it now after trying others?

@@TheBourbonWrench I loved the spice and it was a really good pour. I haven't been back but plan to buy a single barrel this year cheers Andrew

Cheers cam!

got some larceny A123 in the glass tonight!! I love it

Cheers NERD!!!

I am curious, why was that the one you tried first? It’s just interesting to hear why people try the bottles they did first

@@TheBourbonWrench A couple of reasons. The label stood out and gave the impression that there was quality juice in there. I enjoy barrel proofs now, but the 80 proof was appealing then. It has enough complexity to not be boring and is a great introduction into what bourbon is without blowing the socks off a person new to alcohol lol

@@liquidprescription I like to hear peoples stories. Mainly because I try and remain as open minded as possible in everything, even if it’s a bottle I don’t like! I think people reading this comment could get something out of it! As I said in the video, my gf loves the drinks I make her using this so there’s benefits!

I have 3 different recipes, all totally different. The one I mentioned in this video is freaking amazing. Makes me wonder what the other 7 recipes taste like lol

I haven’t seen a pick of the regular single barrel in a hot minute, but remember thoroughly enjoying the one I had. I love the standard option still though! The barrel strengths are next level good

Absolutely love it for $45, great price and great bottle. Right where it should be

Ya know I never thought of it that way, but man is that not exactly what it is

Feel like any bourbon is better when non chill filtered

Speak the truth!

I believe so too! Shoot, they could NCF the regular small batch and it’d be an A hahaha

@@camhester357 all whisky is better without chill filtration. It strips away so much, and should be banned in my opinion. We live in the super information age, and anyone concerned by cloudiness in their whisky can learn that it's a positivie sign with a quick Google.

Nothing stopping me from not using a typical ABC list, but this style of lettering stems from Japanese video game tier systems from back in the day. It’s just something that stuck, and I just keep that same style. I watch a lot of video game videos/tier lists so it’s just something I was use to!

Small batch select tastes like prechewed gum to me

@@LeatherDaddy97 I’d drink it if you chewed it first 🍆

That’s honestly my one downside. I honestly feel like it’s a $40-$50 bottle, not $60. After tax, it puts me over $60 here

my $45 - $55 on the store shelf rotation is Rare Breed, Russell's SB, Knob Creek SB 120, and Four Roses SBS. based on your flavor profile,.. you should give this a chance. the 104 proof is really nice

It makes sense tho. Idk this guys tastes personally. But, many people rave and pay for overpriced blantons and eagle rare etc when they are just good. They arent much better or even the best for their MSRP and definitely not for the marked up price. I've done blind tastes with many people with those four roses etc and people rank them all over the place.

Wild turkey is just as average for 20$ as well. Most people I know its either or which they prefer. All I get on wild turkey is slight caramel and some spice and that's it. it's not anymore complex as the four roses. When it comes down to that its preference. Wehn ranking a 20$ whisky I don't expect it to be very advanced and for what it is it's slightly better to me and some of my friends than wild turkey. I know people who like the wild turkey slightly more as well.

ive had some fan freaking tastic bulleit picks thats for sure...I have a 12 year which HAS to be 12 year 4R and its amazing

@@TheBourbonWrench my local store just did a Bulleit pick and I'm very impatient for it to show up...

My issue with Bulleit picks are they are capped at 104 proof

I've never had a bulleit that I didn't immediately spit out tbh. Just shows how much peoples taste varies.

You like the small batch select, or the regular small batch?

@@TheBourbonWrench Regular Small Batch never tried Small Batch Select

Cheers nerd!

How would you rank these with the same ranking system? A tier list is designed to rank them to each other. A B-ranked bourbon doesn’t mean it’s bad, but four roses small batch isn’t close to the best thing they have.

​@@TheBourbonWrenchyou're placing an entry level bourbon against four roses heavy hitters, that's not a fair judgement, in its price rangw it is a good bourbon.

You have to include the price in a rating. Or at least normal people do. Its your rating tho and your taste. I think blantons and eagle rare and buffalo trace tase just good. And that's for their MSRP. If I am rating Blantons at its upcharged price its a F if I drank a whisky that cost as much at it does right now and I didn't know it was blantons I would be pissed off. Buffalo trace is pretty good fro 35$ but it is not much better if at all as some other options that are 35$ at my local store.@@TheBourbonWrench
