Four Roses 2025 Limited Edition Bourbon Details and Release Information

Press Release

The Heritage Kentucky Distillery Debuts the 18th Edition of the Annual Release, Showcasing a Masterful Blend of Three Bourbon Recipes – Four Roses 2025 Limited Edition

LAWRENCEBURG, Ky., Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Four Roses Distillery announced the release of its highly anticipated 2025 Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon, a standout expression from the award-winning Kentucky bourbon maker, releasing September 3rd. This marks the 18th edition in the annual series, featuring a unique blend of three bourbon recipes and four different batches, bottled at barrel strength.

A Masterful Blend of Bourbon Recipes

Non-chill filtered and bottled at 109 proof, the 2025 Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon features four hand-selected batches aged 13 and 19 years. Chosen from Four Roses’ 10 distinct bourbon recipes, this year’s limited edition blend is composed of a 13-year-old OBSV, a 13-year-old OBSK, a 13-year-old OESV, and a 19-year-old OESV.

Master Distiller’s Notes

“Year after year, we look to create a unique expression that highlights the best of what our ten recipes can offer,” said Brent Elliott, Four Roses Master Distiller. “When blending this year’s release, I was drawn to the 13-year-old V batches that showcase pronounced delicate fruit and sweet barrel tones. Although these barrels can really shine on their own, the OBSK brought in a complexity that I think people will really enjoy. The addition of the 19-year-old OBSV also adds another layer of depth and aged character that rounds out the blend beautifully.”

Tasting Notes From Four Roses

The recipes selected for the 2025 Limited Edition Small Batch result in notes of sweet apricot, vanilla, caramel, black tea leaves, hints of rye, and mellow oak on the nose, followed by apricot, hints of citrus, crème brûlée, and antique spiced oak on the palate, with those same flavors lingering in a very soft and long finish.

Release Details and Bottle Drawing

This year, Four Roses will release approximately 16,854 bottles of its 2025 Limited Edition Small Batch at a suggested retail price of $249. They will be available at select retailers nationwide and through the distillery’s bottle drawing, which will accept entries from August 19 to 24. Winners of the bottle drawing will be selected at random and notified on August 29 for a chance to purchase and pick up their bottle at the Distillery Visitor Center in Lawrenceburg, KY, in September. Visitors to the Four Roses Distillery can also enjoy a pour at Bar 1888 in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, while supplies last. (Note: While they say that the release date is September 3rd, no specific details are given. So, it is unclear if the bottles will be released at the distillery on that date, soon after, or not at all.)
