Three Four Roses Bourbon Recipes Are Featured In The First Four Roses Single Barrel Collection Set
The Single Barrel Collection will feature the first three new 100 proof Single Barrel bourbons – OBSF, OESK, and OESO – alongside the flagship Single Barrel, OBSV. Each bottle is aged 7-9 years and highlights Four Roses’ proprietary combination of mash bills and yeast strains, resulting in ten distinct recipes for a unique tasting experience. 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. This ensures a fresh, distinctive experience for Four Roses and bourbon enthusiasts.
“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.”
