Four Roses Distillery has unveiled its Single Barrel Collection.
The launch coincides with the 20th anniversary of Four Roses introducing its flagship Single Barrel bourbon.
The Single Barrel Collection features the first three new 100 proof single barrel bourbons — OBSF, OESK and OESO — alongside the flagship single barrel, OBSV.
Each bottle aged 7-9 years and highlights Four Roses’ proprietary combination of mash bills and yeast strains, resulting in ten distinct recipes.
Following this first Single Barrel Collection, which will be available throughout 2025, Four Roses will continue to introduce a new set of single barrels each year, rotating between the nine unique recipes that complement the flagship Single Barrel recipe.
“We are incredibly proud of the recognition our flagship Single Barrel has received over the last 20 years, so to be introducing our new Single Barrel Collection in this anniversary year is something truly special,” says Four Roses master distiller Brent Elliott. “Our ten recipes are central to creating Four Roses’ signature mellow spice, and this collection provides the experience for fans to enjoy more of what makes our bourbons special.”
Distillery-provided tasting notes of the Single Barrel Collection are as follows:
- OBSV: Mash Bill B (35% rye, 60% corn) with yeast strain V, imparting rye spice, apricot, pear, cinnamon and toasted oak.
- OBSF: Mash Bill B (35% rye, 60% corn) with yeast strain F, imparting herbal notes, bright rye, apple, vanilla clove, and cocoa.
- OESK: Mash Bill E (20% rye, 75% corn) with yeast strain K, imparting baking spices, mellow oak, tea leaves and caramel.
- OESO: Mash Bill E (20% rye, 75% corn) with yeast strain O, imparting rich red fruit, vanilla, brown sugar and oak.
The three new Single Barrels (SRP $49.99 per bottle) roll out in early 2025, and will also be available for purchase at the Four Roses Distillery Visitor Center in Lawrenceburg, KY, or at the Four Roses Warehouse & Bottling Facility in Cox’s Creek, KY. The suggested retail price is $49.99 per 750-ml. bottle.
