A Robust Blend of Heritage and Craft – Four Roses Small Batch Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Four Roses Small Batch Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey reflects more than a century of distilling tradition from the quiet countryside near Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Established in 1910 along the Salt River and noted on the National Register of Historic Places, the distillery survived Prohibition as one of only six allowed to operate. After a period of limited domestic availability, new leadership in the early 2000s restored Four Roses to its celebrated place among American bourbons. Small Batch Select stands as the first permanent portfolio addition since 2006 and highlights the renewed spirit of innovation inside this historic distillery.
Tasting Experience
Warm aromas lead into layered fruit, spice, and herbal tones, carried by a rich, mouth-coating texture that deepens with every sip. Flavors of ripe orchard fruit and caramel mingle with seasoned oak and baking spice. The finish lingers with depth, showing balanced sweetness and well-defined spice.
Craftsmanship
Bottled at 104 proof and non-chill filtered, this bourbon is crafted from six of the distillery’s ten unique recipes: OBSV, OBSK, OBSF, OESV, OESK, and OESF. Each component is aged six to seven years before blending, creating an elevated profile richer and more robust than the traditional Four Roses signature. The careful selection and marriage of high-quality small lots underscore the distillery’s meticulous approach to flavor development.
Best Enjoyed
Enjoy neat to appreciate its layered complexity, or with a splash of water to reveal subtle fruit and spice notes. It also shines in classic bourbon cocktails where its structure and depth add real presence.
