Description
Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon is a brilliant demonstration of blending mastery from Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. While most standard bourbons maintain a flavor profile by blending large batches of a single recipe, Four Roses operates differently. The distillery famously utilizes two distinct mash bills and five proprietary yeast strains to craft ten individual bourbon recipes. For Small Batch, the Master Distiller selects just four of these recipes (specifically OBSK, OBSO, OESK, and OESO), aging them between 6 and 7 years before marrying them together.
The result is a beautifully rounded, highly consistent liquid that represents the exact midpoint of the distillery’s flavor spectrum. Bottled at 45% ABV (90 Proof), it perfectly balances a mellow, approachable texture with a complex depth of flavor. The marriage of the higher-rye ‘B’ mash bill and the smoother, corn-forward ‘E’ mash bill creates an incredibly versatile pour that is both soft enough for newcomers and complex enough for seasoned aficionados—making it a stellar staple for any e-commerce digital catalog.
Tasting Notes:
-
Aroma: Soft, bright, and sweet. Inviting notes of rich caramel, dark honey, and sweet oak are lifted by a lovely bouquet of fresh red berries, dried fruit, and light floral notes.
-
Palate: Beautifully balanced and velvety. Smooth layers of sweet vanilla, brown sugar, and toasted rye bread blend seamlessly with ripe apricots, summer plums, and a gentle dash of cinnamon.
-
Finish: Medium-long, smooth, and clean. Leaves a comforting, lingering trail of gentle oak tannins, sweet vanilla, and a soft, fruity spice warmth.
Serving Suggestion:
Four Roses Small Batch is highly praised for its remarkable adaptability. Enjoy it neat to map out the individual recipe characteristics, over a large ice cube to enhance its rich caramel sweetness, or use it as the premium, beautifully balanced base for a classic Whiskey Sour, Mint Julep, or Manhattan.
