Four Roses Small Batch Select+Four Roses Small Batch+Four Roses Single Barrel Special
Four Roses Small Batch Select represents the elevated end of the Four Roses lineup, crafted for buyers who want deeper flavor, higher proof, and a more structured sipping experience. Bottled non-chill filtered and at a higher proof than the standard small batch, this release delivers enhanced mouthfeel and intensified flavor without sacrificing balance.
Produced by Four Roses Distillery, Four Roses Small Batch Select is created using a blend of six of the distillery’s ten unique bourbon recipes. This approach allows for layered spice, fruit, and oak complexity that appeals to experienced bourbon drinkers seeking consistency with added depth.
On the nose, Four Roses Small Batch Select opens with aromas of ripe red fruit, baking spice, caramel, and toasted oak. The palate is full and rounded, delivering notes of dark cherry, vanilla, rye spice, and rich oak. The non-chill filtration preserves oils and texture, resulting in a richer, more expressive mouthfeel.
When compared to Four Roses Small Batch, the Select version offers higher proof, more intensity, and greater depth, making it better suited for neat sipping. Meanwhile, Four Roses Single Barrel Special expressions lean into recipe-specific character and barrel individuality, appealing to buyers who want bold, focused flavor from a single barrel.
The finish on Four Roses Small Batch Select is long and warming, with lingering spice, vanilla, and oak. It performs exceptionally well neat or with a few drops of water to unlock additional complexity.
This release is ideal for buyers upgrading from standard small batch bottlings or those deciding between Four Roses Small Batch, Four Roses Small Batch Select, and Four Roses Single Barrel Special. It strikes a strong balance between complexity, availability, and premium value.
