Has this stuff gotten any better? I got a bottle for Christmas and am seriously thinking of trading it in. The first two bottles that I had of this were gifts, and thank God they were as I thought this stuff was awful. Wouldn’t pay good money for it. Thoughts anyone? And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
Four Roses Small Batch Select

Yes, my thoughts exactly! I tried it several times, just not a fan at all.
Mixing it with anything doesn’t help. A lot of people like it in old fashions.
I gave a bottle I got to a family member who likes it. Hope you found something else this year you can enjoy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Not a whiskey snob. I like Makers Mark, lol.
As far as Four Roses is concerned I don't really like any of their main blends. The regular small batch is woody. The select is sweet and better balanced but I still don't like it. Seems to be a cocktail favorite though. Kinda expensive for a mixer, however.
Their single barrel isn't too bad.

One of my best friends has been a 4 Roses small batch guy for several years. He stopped drinking it because he said around the start of 2024 it started tasting bad.

Got a bottle a couple of months ago and it was great. Maybe a few bad barrels hit the market, who knows.
Traded it in for a bottle of Noah’s Mill today. Very pleased
Noah's Mill is the chit, IMO. Love that stuff.
I've never tried the Select, but 4 Roses small batch has always been great.
A friend received a BlackBerry Crown Royal for Christmas, Had not seen it out anywhere.
Heard Noah Mill is good, not had any yet.
I went to Four Roses this year tried a few, all tasted, hot, burnt to me. After taste was awful.
Would like to try something different to make an old fashioned or manhattan, any recs???

Two friends of mine drink manhattans and old fashioneds and swear by Bulleit Rye in both.
