R...I too RE-discovered Four Roses brand this year. RE because my first memory of Four Roses was seeing bottles in my great-grandfathers home, Those memories came back the instant I stepped into the Four Roses Distillery for a tour this April and saw the logo on their bottles. We did the Bourbon Trail and while ALL stops were interesting, this was above average - great locale, great guides and outstanding bourbon. Between my wife and I, we got to sample 3 varieties - the Straight, Small Batch and Single Barrel. Grandpa always had the Straight - and that was my favorite. My wife (not a bourbon drinker until this trip) fell in love with the Single barrel and we took a bottle home with us. It won't last as long as the two bottles written about in this blog.<br /><br />Jeff Berning<br />IndianaJeff Berninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08202063793743145688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17114857.post-49941529248421846802009-02-16T12:34:00.000-08:002009-02-16T12:34:00.000-08:00Wow, it must be that time of year.

When we cleared out the house I got the liquor closet. <BR/><BR/>Curious that I found this bottle this weekend and decided to open it up and try it. So special is it that here I am on the Web surfing it up. I am a Scotch drinker and this is such an enjoyable change. <BR/><BR/>I would guess that the bottle is from about 1968 -- MD sticker, based on discussions with my wife and where the family was living at the time. 41+ years in a bottle and still excellent.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your post.
