Not to be confused with Four Roses Single Barrel, a 100-proof single barrel release that is one of Four Roses' year-round releases..
Four Roses Distillery produces two different bourbon mashbills and produces each with one of five different yeast strains, for a total of 10 different recipes. While most Four Roses releases incorporate a specific blend of selected recipes, each Single Barrel Barrel Strength release is made from a single recipe, selected and bottled at barrel strength.
Four Roses Single Barrel Barrel Strength releases are available exclusively as private selections available to retailers, bars, and restaurants. They also feature a side label that provides more information about each bottling, including age and mashbill.
Age varies for each barrel selected, and can be anywhere from 7 years to 18 years1Sotheby’s or more.
The standard Four Roses Single Barrel release is always bottled at 100 proof, and always uses the OBSV recipe.
