The e grain bill is a more typical bourbon recipe with less rye that the other you bought. The k yeast strain produces spicy and caramel flavors.
Unlike pretty much every other bourbon maker in KY, four roses changes its grain bill and yeast strain to create most of their flavors. They do not use massive six story rickhouses that move the barrels around over time and vary aging times. Their rickhouses are single stories with the barrels stacked four high and a fairly uniform aging time give or take a month here and there.

A friend brought it back from Mexico. Can’t wait to give it a try!
UPDATE: Poured myself a glass the other night - neat - and it is as smooth as silk. Very nice agave notes, without the heavy fire of regular unaged blanco tequilas. Not like an aged tequila with the smoky notes, but it is a very refined tequila! Which is fascinating for me (matches my thoughts) because the distiller said it's "...twice distilled and aged to perfection for 18 months in American white oak barrels, then carefully charcoal filtered to restore the crisp agave flavor found in Blanco Tequila" I would say they are spot on - smooth like an anejo yet "crisp" like a blanco without the raw alcohol fire.
