Four Roses Showcases Four of Ten Unique Whiskey Recipes In New Single Barrel Line

 

Famed distiller Four Roses is introducing three new expressions: OBSF, OESK, and OESO.

Bottled at a robust 50% ABV, these new releases join their flagship OBSV and simultaneously marks the 20th anniversary of its single barrel whiskey.

These single barrel whiskeys, aged between seven and nine years, aim to be the first set to showcase the diversity of Four Roses' ten unique recipes.

Following the release of the inaugural collection this year, Kirin-owned Four Roses plans to annually introduce new sets of single barrel whiskeys. Each set will have four bottlings each, cycling through the entire range of recipes alongside their flagship offering.

Four Roses Bourbon is unique among distilleries because it combines two different mash bills (grain recipes) with five distinct yeast strains, creating a total of ten unique bourbon recipes.

The distillery is also renowned for its portfolio of only four core expressions. Notably, it introduced the Small Batch Select in 2019, its first permanent addition in twelve years.

This year’s Single Barrel Collection includes:

The Flagship OBSV

Made with Mashbill B (60% corn, 35%, rye, 5% malted barley) and yeast strain V. It is said to have notes of rye spice, apricot, pair, cinnamon, and toasted oak.

OBSF

Made with Mashbill B and yeast strain F. It is said to haves herbal notes, bright rye spice, apple, vanilla, clove, and cocoa.

OESK

Made with Mashbill E (75% corn, 20% rye, 5% malted barley) and yeast strain K, with notes of baking spices, mellow oak, tea leaves, and caramel.

OESO

Made with Mashbill E and yeast strain O, imparting rich red fruit, vanilla, brown sugar, and delicate oak.

Each of these new single barrel whiskies will be priced at US$50.
