A Once-a-Year Masterpiece for Bourbon Lovers
Why We Recommend It
The Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch is one of the most anticipated annual releases in American whiskey. The 2025 edition continues that tradition, blending older, hand-selected barrels to showcase the remarkable complexity possible within the Four Roses recipe system. Crafted by Master Distiller Brent Elliott, this release leans into the distillery’s signature delicate fruit, mellow spice and elegant oak, making it a must-have bottle for serious bourbon collectors and Four Roses enthusiasts.
Product Overview
The 2025 Limited Edition Small Batch is bottled non-chill filtered at barrel strength (109 proof / 54.5% ABV) and blends bourbons aged 13 and 19 years. The release is built around fruit-forward V-yeast recipes complemented by an older component that adds depth and mature oak structure.
Approximately 16,854 bottles were produced globally, making this a highly collectible annual release with limited availability outside the United States.
Blend Composition
The 2025 release combines four batches from three of Four Roses’ ten proprietary recipes:
- 13-year-old OBSV — 38%
- 13-year-old OESV — 35%
- 13-year-old OBSK — 17%
- 19-year-old OESV — 10%
This blend highlights the V yeast strain, known for producing delicate fruit notes such as apricot and pear, while the older 19-year component contributes mature oak complexity.
Distillery / Production Notes
Four Roses Distillery is unique in bourbon for producing ten distinct recipes, created from two mash bills and five proprietary yeast strains. This system allows the distillery to craft highly nuanced blends by combining different flavour profiles. The annual Limited Edition Small Batch release is designed as a showcase of this blending expertise, with Master Distiller Brent Elliott selecting barrels that best express balance, maturity and complexity.
Official Tasting Profile
Nose: apricot, vanilla, caramel, black tea, gentle rye spice
Palate: apricot, citrus, crème brûlée, antique spiced oak
Finish: long, soft and layered with mellow spice and aged oak
Collector Notes
The 2025 edition marks the 18th annual release of the Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch series, a line that has become one of the most respected annual bourbon releases among enthusiasts. Each year features a completely different combination of recipes and ages, meaning no two releases are ever the same.
Because of its limited production and strong collector following, these bottles often become highly sought-after shortly after release.
