Four Roses Bourbon | The Whiskey Dictionary 

You just nailed it 👍

@@Crunch_Buttsteak My 1.75 L has a screw cap... but I have more than twice as much.

My bottle of Four Roses has a cork 👌

I tried four roses at a bar and thought it tasted great.

I'v never tried it before but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Mine came with a cork too! Pretty nice for a base product. To me the high rye pourcentage stands out with quite a dry taste for a Bourbon

Totally agree. It is a great value too.

@@drax14QCI’ve seen the liters with a screw top and 750 with a cork

That's what I was thinking too. I keep some in the bar for mixed drinks.

Did my review convince you to try this one? Either way, I'm glad you're into whiskey now! Welcome

I think that, to some people, it might be an aesthetic thing. Even then, most whisky bottles have some sort of composite cork to ensure that it doesn't fall apart after some while.

+ianvdwoude Its completely an aesthetic thing.

i never got a notification. I hear ya about aesthetics and all. makes sense. especially for bottles say $28 and over. but for a bottle under $20 I wonder if its worth the extra cost for the fake/composite corks. there has to be an addtl cost over a screw top. i realize this is not a huge deal. what's in the bottle is what really matters anyway. and I'm starting to think with the ongoing whiskey craze, some makers are re-doing their labels and adding corks just so they can charge more. I love Rittenhouse Rye 100 proof, and JTS Brown bourbon 100 proof. both have screw tops. Rittenhouse is around $26 now so it would be nice if it had a cork. JTS Brown is like $18 so im just fine with that price range to get a decent and cheap bourbon you can still sip on lol. there are plenty of whiskies in the $30 and up range now. I want some to stay in the $17-25 range that are still good quality. some liquor stores have so many choices now that a $25-30 bottle of rye or bourbon is on the bottom shelf... crazy. but for people who are younger and just getting into whiskey this is the best time ever with all the selection. when I turned 21 and was at a bar it was literally Jack and Beam, Johnnie Walker or Dewar's, and maybe Seagrams 7 or Crown. and u pretty much had to mix with coke or soda to enjoy it. now by neighborhood bar carries Pappy.

Here's my thing. With a cork it does create a better air tight seal. A screw top might not be closed all the way due to user error, but with a cork that is far less likely even when you've had one too many. All that being said, it's only a nitpicking thing. A screw top bottle doesn't in any way ruin the quality of a drink...unless you're an idiot who barely closes the bottle.

I like the sound the cork makes each time I open the bottle. Screw tops are boring.

It is better than Jim beam, Jack Daniels etc for sure. Those are very weak imho

Cheap is relative it's priced ten bucks more than those two usually so it's more of mid than a cheap

I think that's awesome! What scotch do you like?

It is very interesting! In my country you can get a Four Roses Yellow for the same price as a Buffalo Trace and than there is no competition there: Buffalo Trace babbyyy. PS: If you like the Four Roses Yellow try out the Small Batch or the Single Barrel. They are delicious, ofc if you have to money to spend on those

Great analysis

Awesome comment. Made my day. Thanks!

Thats actually really cool. What is your most recent bottle?

Very cool!

Thanks Jason!

That's solid advice. I'll keep it in mind going forward. You liked Yellow Label huh? Are you a fan of any other bourbons?

That was a great show. My wife and I really enjoyed it

+Zinfrared good for the price. For sure. As I said it's something I recommend for beginners.

+Jeff Winbush To each their own, but to Me, the small batch is their best offering. If you're around tomorrow night check out my live stream. I'll be having all three

+Cheers to the Mouse Cheers to you too!

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I feel the same way as you do about all three (small batch, yellow label, and single barrel). I found this to be "ok" whiskey, better than some but not as good as others of the same ABV and price range.

I've had this one requested a lot. Too much whiskey, too little time!

Larceny is awesome. That was the first one I reviewed.

I know nothing about this brand in that timeframe. What are hangs?

@@TheWhiskeyDictionary haha I’m sorry...autocorrect. I meant change.

+Neo Genesis That's impressive. It's a great dram for sure!

+helpicantfindaname1 Hah! I want to start putting bloopers at the end if there are any. Next video will be released at 3 p.m. EAR. TOUGHLY 6 hours

I've had whisky like that more than a few times! Booker's comes to mind. As for single malts, next month is actually going to be all Speyburn which is single malt scotch. I was originally going to have this month be Scotch, but Speyburn is putting out a new offering next month and I wanted to capitalize on that!

Did not dig the Maker's Mark at all, but Maker's 46 is damn good.

Jeff Winbush Haven’t tried the 46 yet, I special ordered it through my local liquor outlet. Being at the top of Vermont we don’t get a lot of selections and I’m interested in the 46. And there was the Eagles Rare also that he reviewed the video before this one. Have you tried that one?

+Jeff Winbush They are definitely different from eachother. Thanks for the review. I like your icon btw. I miss the Boondocks

The Whiskey Dic it’s actually a picture of me when I visited my parents, lol. It feels like I’m in the boondocks all the way up here compared to Connecticut. I heard that they’re coming out with Boondock Saints I don’t know if it’s going to have a number after it or something like some movies but classics don’t allow it lol. Comes out 2018. Anyway, I appreciate the comparison, I often believe it or not get Stifler from American Pie movies lol. Is there a bourbon or single malt you would suggest? Doesn’t have to be pricy like some people but nothing that’s $1000 or more I’d have to save up for that lol.

Yuck+

+Sweet Cindy Thanks Cindy. My wife is to thank :)

4 Rose's yellow < Jim beam regular < all the rest of the four roses

thnx, and what about evam williams regular?

It's ok, I like to think of that more as a mixer than anything

+wildernessman Totally!

The Whiskey Dic... So it's a tasty whiskey to mix in a cola or cocktail. But not to drink neat.

+wildernessman Its ok straight. If you wanna buy it, mixing is totally cool

The Whiskey Dic... Ok ty sounds good

Nice!

I've been binging your video's, I'm impressed with how informative you are! Keep up the good work, cheers.

Corrrral

I've been wanting to get to that one. I notice it whenever I go shopping but haven't picked it up yet.

Surprising :o I only hear good things about Four Roses Single Barrel

+PC_GameWorld Buffalo Trace I could see. I think of Wild Turkey as being pretty different overall. I like your honesty and your appreciation for it.

Depends what type of whiskey I'm looking for or if I'm trying to stay in the same brand. Are you looking for a recommendation?

The Whiskey Dic well I love the $30 Small batches. Elijah Craig, knobs creek, for roses, larceny, Forster’s Roy, Evan Williams bottled in bond. So yes please give me your recommendation of a top shelf bourbon. I enjoy your channel. Andrè from New York

+Buddy Mc I'm unfamiliar with that one. I'll need to look it up. Thanks for the suggestion!

It’s one of my friend’s favorites 🥃

Yea. This is one bourbon i kind of regret suggesting for beginners.

+Scotch Test Dummies Every little bit helps!

Thanks!

Yup! Was one of the first videos I ever did. Search "Bulleit whiskey dictionary". Should find the bourbon, rye, and 10 year

Full disclosure... by the time I got to the rye, I had had too much to drink

Thats really interesting! I didn't know that. I wonder if its available in Russia as something else

The yellow label for sure is not something that I'd push too hard for. It's decent as an intro, but anyone but the newest to bourbon probably won't love it.

The Whiskey Dic I was referring to years ago. Not today. Even the Yellow is sooo much better than the old Four Roses.

+WhiteBurleyDude I never had the pleasure. Sounds like a good thing

Scotch is different than bourbon. If you're asking best American bourbon vs. best Scotch, that's a tough call to make.

Isn't a qualification of bourbon that it's made in America? American Bourbon just seemed a little redundant to me lol

Nobody calls it American Bourbon. They just say Bourbon. There is also American Whiskey which doesnt necessarily meet all of the requirements of bourbon

@@TheWhiskeyDictionary 3:21 Best American Bourbon, it was just a bad joke. Kinda like when a movie says "Paris, France" like yeah as opposed to Paris, Ohio

She's not

Scripts come off as robotic. Also, I do write a script to a degree...
