The 2010 ...I think that's completely accurate. The 2010 was the best they'd ever made, and the 2012 and 2013 got progressively better. Seems like they ran out of the super aged 17, 18 year stocks which is too bad, but 2014 is still an amazing dram in its own right.SmokyBeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01037600157562644580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003812814565985230.post-81739349988040659282014-11-11T13:22:23.371-05:002014-11-11T13:22:23.371-05:00Here's the funny thing, Jim Rutledge claimed t...Here's the funny thing, Jim Rutledge claimed the 2010 Small Batch was one of the finest bourbons produced at Four Roses and yet he's continued to top himself in following years.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215982348779717643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003812814565985230.post-86527650704652822012014-11-10T19:49:02.208-05:002014-11-10T19:49:02.208-05:00Yeah it would have been really cool to have either...Yeah it would have been really cool to have either the 11, or one of the 'Mariage' bottles, '08 or '09. Hard to imagine any of them beat the '12 though! Thanks for reading.

Sadly I didn't get to meet Jim but he was nice enough to sign all the Four Roses bottles at the store so I grabbed one. Incidentally, I'm surprised no one had a 2011 bottle to complete your tasting line-up. 2011 was the last year that the LE Small Batch was easy to find in California.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215982348779717643noreply@blogger.com
