• WHY: The Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon is not only a delicious and bold Bourbon expression, it’s a fascinating chance to taste one of the singular building blocks from the ten different Four Roses recipes. The Single Barrel expression is the only Bourbon from Four Roses that comes from one individual mashbill (OBSV), and it showcases rich vanilla with plenty of spice at a robust 100 proof.

• HOW: Four Roses used to be owned by Seagrams, which means the distillery needed to be versatile in its capabilities for blending. Even today, having been purchased by Kirin and dedicated entirely to Bourbon production, the distillery makes ten different Bourbon recipes: two different mashbills with five different strains of yeast. The Small Batch Select uses six different recipes.
