Four Roses OBSK Single Barrel Bourbon
100 Proof | High-Rye Mashbill | 750mL
Process & Profile
Four Roses OBSK Single Barrel Bourbon is a limited barrel-strength release built from the high-rye mashbill (60% corn, 35% rye, 5% malted barley) and the “K” yeast strain, which is known for delivering a subtle spice signature. Each barrel is hand-selected and bottled uncut and unfiltered, allowing the unique personality of each cask to shine. The result is a bold, full-bodied bourbon with intensity, richness, and layered complexity.
