Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey

Four Roses Small Batch is four of the distillery's ten recipes married together — OBSK, OESK, OBSO, and OESO — and it's the bottle that put the brand back on American shelves after forty years in exile. Four Roses is the only bourbon distillery that runs two mashbills and five proprietary yeast strains into ten distinct recipes; the B mashbill is 60% corn and 35% rye, the E is 75% corn and 20% rye, and the K and O yeasts bring spice and rich fruit respectively. Master distiller Brent Elliott selects barrels of all four, mingles them, and bottles at 90 proof — the recipe Jim Rutledge built when Kirin bought the brand in 2002 and brought it home from the Japanese market. Expect a nose of caramel, ripe red fruit, and a floral rye lift with a touch of cinnamon, opening into a soft, balanced palate of vanilla, honey, and light baking spice with the K yeast's pepper on the back end and a medium, gentle finish. Honest note: the most reliable $35 bourbon in Kentucky — the Old Fashioned pour, the daily sipper, and the bottle enthusiasts keep reaching for because it never disappoints. Neat, on a cube, or in a cocktail. Four Roses, four recipes.
