Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Nestled in the Kentucky countryside, along the banks of the Salt River near Lawrenceburg, lies the historic Four Roses Distillery. Established in 1910, the distillery’s architecture reflects the style of California wineries. It persevered through Prohibition, operating as one of the six distilleries granted a license to produce medicinal whiskey. Today, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Following Prohibition, Four Roses Kentucky Straight Bourbon became the top-selling bourbon in the United States. In 1943, Seagram’s acquired the distillery and shifted the focus to European and Asian markets, discontinuing the Kentucky Straight Bourbon in the US. In February 2002, Kirin Brewery Company, Ltd. acquired Four Roses, revitalizing the brand with renewed purpose and energy.
Craftsmanship and Distinctive Recipes
Under the guidance of Master Distiller Brent Elliot, Four Roses selects a few barrels from their 10 unique Bourbon recipes for their Limited Edition releases. These special releases are barrel strength and non-chill filtered. The 2017 Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon is a blend of 12-year-old bourbons from Four Roses’ OESO and OBSV recipes, and a 16-year-old OESK. The blend is anchored by the OESO recipe, featuring a mash bill of 75% corn, 20% rye, and 5% malted barley, with a yeast strain that imparts fruity vanilla accents. Bottled at a robust 111.2 proof, this bourbon offers a unique and balanced flavor profile.
Tasting Notes
The fruitiness from the OESO recipe is complemented by aged spice notes from the OBSV and OESK recipes. This small batch bourbon is remarkably balanced, with vibrant notes of sweet cherry, green apples, rich apricot, and structured rye. On the palate, it transitions from tart citrus to sweet molasses, peppery spices, and decadent crème brûlée. The finish is long and satisfying, with subtle hints of honey and light mint.
Why Bourbon?
Bourbon is an iconic American spirit, with most production centered in Kentucky, although it can be made anywhere in the USA. To be classified as bourbon, it must be made from at least 51% corn and bottled at a minimum of 40% ABV. This classic American whiskey is a must-try for any spirits enthusiast.
