Four Roses produces ten base Bourbons, with Small Batch Select being a non-chillfiltered 104 Proof version. Master distiller Brent Elliott selected the recipe for this gentle and approachable bourbon. Small Batch Select is made from six of the ten recipes, including OBSV, OBSK, OBSF, OESV, OESK, and OESF. Each bourbon in the small batch selection is six or seven years old. This marks the brand’s first new brand extension in 12 years and is available in Kentucky, Texas, California, New York, and Georgia.
Tasting Notes
Nose: The nose is quite subtle and smooth, there are notes of winter spice and buttered granary toast with thick honey. There are hints of cut flowers and dry hay.
Taste: The palate is much fuller with a lovely balance. There are notes of manuka honey, winter spice, toasty oak, a little crème anglaise and thick fruit.
Finish: The finish is of good length with a resurgence from the crème anglaise.
