A blend of four recipes (OBSO, OESO, OBSK, and OESK), Four Roses Small Batch is aged between 6-7 years and bottled at 90 proof. This blended bourbon starts smooth and sweet, with sasparilla and maple sugar, then explodes with bold cassia, cinnamon and cayenne razzle-dazzle.
Four Roses produces bourbon differently from most major American distilleries. They distill two different mash bills: the “E” lower rye mash features 75% corn, 20% rye, 5% malted barley while the “B” higher rye mash is made with 35% rye, 60% corn, and 5% malted barley. These two mash bills are fermented with five unique strains of yeast; F, K, O, Q, and V, each of which imparts different flavors to the whiskey. These ten different bourbons are then blended to create Four Roses products.
