Four Roses Small Batch

About the Four Roses Small Batch

Four Roses Small Batch is a Kentucky bourbon from Four Roses in the United States. At the Four Roses distillery, this bottle is built as a small-batch blend, not a single recipe. That approach gives it a broader profile than many straightforward bourbons. It sits at 45% ABV, with enough weight for neat sipping. A key detail is the recipe mix behind Four Roses Small Batch. Four Roses combines four recipes: OBSK, OESO, OESK, and OBSO. Each recipe contributes different notes, from rich fruit to rye-driven baking spice. That blending choice is the clearest reason this bourbon tastes layered instead of linear. In the glass, caramel lands first, followed by berries and brown sugar. Then baking spice and cinnamon lift the mid-palate without becoming sharp. A light thread of apple and citrus keeps the sweetness in check. The finish stays long, with soft char and black pepper near the end. On the official Four Roses page, the brand highlights 2023 competition results for this release. Those include gold medals at San Francisco and IWSC, plus a 95-point rating. That recognition supports what regular drinkers notice in practice. The whisky stays composed, expressive, and easy to revisit over time. For buyers seeking a dependable bourbon, Four Roses Small Batch is a reliable choice. It suits drinkers who want flavour detail without excessive oak or heat. Four Roses has made this expression a core part of its range for that reason. Many shoppers treat it as a practical step up from entry bourbon, especially when they want complexity without fuss. It also suits anyone wanting a bottle that feels familiar yet layered.
