Master Distiller Brent Elliott blended four of the distillery's bourbon recipes aged from 12 to 25 years, including the oldest bourbon Four Roses has ever used in a special release. It is bottled at 108 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour Roses is unique in Kentucky for combining two mash bills with five proprietary yeast strains to create ten distinct bourbon recipes, and the Limited Edition Small Batch is where those recipes are blended at their most mature. The 2023 edition combines a 12-year-old OESV (35%), a 14-year-old OESK (40%), a 16-year-old OESV (20%) and a 25-year-old OBSV (5%). The older OESV components bring fruit and caramel, the OESK adds baking spice, and the rare 25-year-old OBSV contributes depth, fruit and rye character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, allspice, vanilla and oak are joined by hints of cinnamon and clove. The palate offers honey and rye spice with ripe berries and pear, leading into a long, mellow finish. Soft, smooth and characteristically shareable, it shows the house style at its most refined. The release was limited to 15,060 bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rounded bottle carries a special 135 anniversary seal and a gold medallion, making this one of the most collectible Four Roses bottlings of recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allspice, vanilla and oak, with hints of cinnamon and clove.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honey and rye spice, with ripe berries and pear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and mellow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four Roses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, small batch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 135th Anniversary Limited Edition Small Batch (2023)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend of bourbons aged 12, 14, 16 and 25 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108 proof (54% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e OESV 12 (35%), OESK 14 (40%), OESV 16 (20%), OBSV 25 (5%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaste it neat first, then add a few drops of water to open up the fruit and spice; a single large ice cube also works well at this proof.
