The Making of The Bourbon
Four Roses is famed for its 10 distinct bourbon recipes. Each recipe comprises one of two different mash bills and one of five different yeast strains. This makes for 10 unique recipes that can be used to blend high-quality bourbons with perfect balance.
The 2024 Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon, specifically, is comprised of the following:
- 12 Year Old Bourbon distilled from the OBSV recipe, described as “delicate fruit and rye”
- 15 Year Old Bourbon distilled from the OESK recipe, described as “baking spice”
- 16 Year Old Bourbon distilled from the OESF recipe, described as “light grain and mint”
- 20 Year Old Bourbon, also distilled from the OBSV recipe
The resulting small batch bourbon has notes of “creamy vanilla, honey, and brown sugar on the nose, followed by flavors of ripe berries and tangy citrus on the palate,” according to a brand press release.
