Four Roses Small Batch

Four Roses Small Batch is one of the best values in the bourbon category, full stop. The four-recipe blend — both mash bills plus the spice (K) and rich fruit (O) yeast strains — produces a rounded, textured pour that punches well above its proof and price point. The OBSK and OESK contributions deliver spice and structure; the OBSO and OESO add concentrated dark fruit and stone fruit richness. At 90 proof it's accessible without being diluted of character, and the blend cohesion is exceptional for a mass-market expression. One of the few bourbons at this price that improves consistently in quality glass-to-glass.
