  Single shot on the rocks. Another spirit drunk in my young years. Continue with that floral and fruity character but very soft and almost sweet on the nose. Less harmonious in the mouth and still sparkling, spicy, fresh and harmonious. Easy but appetizing. The dixie spirit, sweet and wet, in a shot.
  
  Servida una medida con hielo.
  Otra bebida espirituosa de mis años mozos. Continúa con ese carácter floral y frutal pero muy suave y casi dulce en nariz. Menos armonioso en boca y aun así chispeante, especiado, fresco y armonioso. Facilón pero apetecible. El espíritu sureño, dulce y húmedo, en un trago.

  Vintage Bourbon, and Young Opus and D'Yquem on New Year's Eve: This was the first taste, neat, from a sealed bottle of 1970s era vintage Four Roses. Astor Wines had this in their Fine & Rare case. Purchased by them from a private collection. Americans didn't drink much bourbon in the 70s and most of it was sent to Europe.
  
  Well is smells like bourbon! Somewhat mellow as there isn't much perceptible heat on the nose. Notes of warm caramel and butterscotch. Palate pretty smooth and doen't have the same bite a newer bourbon would have.

  Soft and sweet with vanilla, honey and sweet corn, balanced by some drier spices from the rye and some leather, wood, tobacco and wax, all coated in caramel. Some pepper, grass and vanilla in the finish. Simple, straight bourbon. Does what you expect and not much more.

  Un délice savoureux sur des notes de caramel. Simplement en ouvrant la bouteille, les agréables aromes vous invitent à partir immédiatement pour le Kentucky. Ce bourbon est si doux et délicieux qu'il vous sera impossible de vous en passer. Malheureusement, cet excellent bourbon n'est pas en vente au Québec. J'ai acheté cette bouteille lors de mon dernier voyage en Californie.
