The Four Roses Barrel Strength Small Batch Limited Edition Release 2025, 54.5% ABV 0.7 l is an annual special release, strictly limited to 5,100 bottles, which impressively reflects the craftsmanship and time-honoured blending philosophy of the Four Roses Distillery. For the 18th edition, four selected batches from three different bourbon recipes have been combined, each drawn from Four Roses’ distinctive ten-recipe matrix. This year’s edition brings together a 13-year-old OBSV, a 13-year-old OBSK, a 13-year-old OESV and a 19-year-old OESV, resulting in a multi-layered and clearly structured composition. It is bottled exclusively at cask strength and is non-chill-filtered, thereby fully preserving the bourbon’s natural character.


With an alcohol content of 54.5 per cent by volume, this limited edition presents itself as a balanced blend of depth, maturity and aromatic precision. The carefully selected casks impressively demonstrate how Four Roses utilises its diversity of recipes to shape each annual edition into a unique interpretation of its own house style. The use of bourbons aged between 13 and 19 years gives this bottling a long-lasting, complex structure and clearly sets it apart within the Small Batch Linie. As a limited-edition collector’s bottling, it once again demonstrates the precision and attention to detail with which Four Roses masters the art of bourbon blending.
