Yellow Label remains true to its original recipe, although this is tweaked to achieve consistency during blending. A blend of all ten Four Roses recipes (approximately 2/3rd OE and 1/3rd OB mash bills) and is aged for between 5 1/2 and 6 years. It is generally blended from no more than 200 casks.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 24/02/2013

Appearance:

Clear, pale golden amber.

Aroma:

Buttery spiced corn on the cob and vanilla with boat yard varnish and whiffs of sweet balsamic vinegar and soy sauce.

Taste:

Very slight sweetness to a generous palate with caramel, delicate bitter soy sauce and spiced dry wood balanced by honey sweet vanillins.

Aftertaste:

Starts with sweet vanilla and turns spicier (ginger nut) and drier.
