Process & Profile

Bottled at barrel strength and non-chill filtered, this release marries four components: three 13-year bourbons and one 19-year bourbon drawn from the OBSV, OBSK and OESV recipes. The blend combines Four Roses’ high-rye B mashbill (60% corn, 35% rye, 5% malted barley) and low-rye E mashbill (75% corn, 20% rye, 5% malted barley), all fermented with V and K yeast strains known for delicate fruit and baking spice character. A total of 16,854 bottles were released, showcasing mature, layered Kentucky bourbon built from 13–19 year barrels.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy Four Roses Limited Edition 2025 Small Batch Bourbon neat in a Glencairn or similar glass to fully experience its layered berry fruit, caramel and oak complexity. A few drops of water can help open up the nose, bringing more vanilla, spice and fruit to the forefront.
