The Story

About Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The times following Prohibition, Four Roses Kentucky Straight Bourbon became the top-selling bourbon in the United States. The distillery was bought out by Seagram’s in 1943, and a decade later their Kentucky Straight Bourbon was discontinued, and Four Roses was moved to the European and Asian markets. In February 2002, they were bought out again by the Kirin Brewery Company, Ltd. who restored a sense of purpose and vigor to the Four Roses enterprise.

Master Distiller Brent Elliot at Four Roses selects a few barrels of their 10 Bourbon recipes to become Limited Edition releases. These special releases are barrel strength and non-chill filtered. Their 2017 Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon is the end product of a mixture of barrels. Elliot selected 12-year-old bourbons from Four Roses’ OESO and OBSV recipes, and a 16-year-old OESK. He chose to anchor the blend with the OESO, which has a mash bill of 75% corn, 20% rye and 5% malted barley, and a yeast strain with fruity vanilla accents. It is bottled at barrel strength with a proof of 111.2.

The recipe’s fruitiness is balanced with more aged spice notes from the OBSV and OESK recipes. The small batch blend is an incredibly balanced, imbued with bright notes of sweet cherry and crisp green apples, rich apricot and structured rye aromas. The palate has tart citrus flavors, transitioning to hints of sweet molasses, peppery spices and decadent crème brûlée. The finish is long, with subtle hints of honey and light mint.

About Four Roses

On the banks of the Salt River, nestled in the quiet Kentucky countryside near Lawrenceburg, Four Roses Distillery is a testament to American ingenuity and perseverance. Built in 1910 to resemble the architecture of California wineries, the distillery — now listed on the National Register of Historic Places — was one of six distilleries that was granted permission to operate during Prohibition.

Following Prohibition, Four Roses Kentucky Straight Bourbon became the top-selling bourbon in the United States. In 1943, Seagram's bought the distillery and a decade later, discontinued the sale of Four Roses Kentucky Straight Bourbon. In 2002, the distillery changed hands again, and the new owner brought a renewed sense of purpose and vigor to Four Roses.
