Four Roses Small Batch Select Bourbon Whiskey

Small Batch Select is Four Roses at 104 proof, non-chill-filtered, from six of its ten recipes aged six to seven years — Breaking Bourbon calls it the best bottle in the core range, and Bourbon & Banter says it's what Small Batch should have been all along. Four Roses is the only distillery running two mashbills and five yeast strains into ten distinct bourbon recipes; master distiller Brent Elliott launched Select in 2019 as a permanent step above Small Batch, marrying OBSV, OBSK, OBSF, OESV, OESK, and OESF, hand-picking barrels from the six, and bottling without chill filtration at 104 proof to keep the texture and the oils. Breaking Bourbon: a nose of cherry, caramel, and rye spice with a floral note, a rich, viscous palate of dark cherry, vanilla, cinnamon, and oak, and a long, warm finish of baking spice and dried fruit. Expect the classic Four Roses fruit-and-flowers signature turned up — more body, more spice, more depth than the 90-proof bottle, and none of the harshness. Honest note: at around $60 this is the value pick in premium Kentucky bourbon — Small Batch's polish with Barrel Strength's weight, always in stock, and the bottle that made a lot of Four Roses fans stop hunting the Limited Editions. Neat or with a drop of water. Four Roses, selected.
