Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky has announced its annual Limited Edition Small Batch just in time for Bourbon Heritage Month.
This year’s 2021 Limited Edition Four Roses release takes advantage of four of the distillery’s 10 proprietary yeast strain and mashbill bourbon recipes. Here is a detailed breakdown with the recipe and age of each bourbon used for this year’s release.
- 16 Year Old Bourbon from the OBSV recipe
- 14 Year Old Bourbon from the OBSQ recipe
- 12 Year Old Bourbon from the OESK recipe
- 16 Year Old Bourbon from the OESV recipe
The net result is a non-chill filtered bourbon that offers the Small Batch’s highest proof ever at 114.2° (57.1% ABV).
“Hand-selecting the barrels to make up our annual limited edition bottling is one of my most rewarding experiences each year,” said Four Roses Master Distiller Brent Elliott. “The ability to work with 10 bourbon recipes each with distinct characteristics opens up endless possibilities.
“This year’s release brings a proof higher than any of the past Limited Editions, creating robust complexity and layers of flavors resulting from the variety of constituent batches and recipes.”
