According to official notes from the brand, recipe OESQ presents red berries and honey on the nose before transitioning to light oak, vanilla, and floral aromas on the palate. This expression uses the distillery’s 20% rye mash bill E paired with its Floral Essence yeast strain Q.
Recipe OESF offers a nose of candied fruit, clove, and oak that give way to a palate of light mint and soft grains, per the brand’s official tasting notes. It combines the same 20% rye mash bill E with the Herbal Note yeast strain F.
The third expression, OBSK, contains the highest rye content of the new collection at 35% rye mash bill B, paired with the Slight Spice yeast strain K. Official notes from the brand describe allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon as defining characteristics.

Four Roses is one of Kentucky’s heritage bourbon producers, operating from its distinctive Spanish Mission-style distillery in Lawrenceburg. The brand’s approach to using five proprietary yeast strains and two mash bills to create 10 distinct recipes sets it apart in the American whiskey category.
The Single Barrel Collection represents part of a broader industry trend toward transparency around production methods and recipe-specific releases. Consumers have shown increasing interest in single barrel programs that highlight the nuances of individual bourbon recipes.
All three expressions will be available at retailers nationwide at $49.99.
