The 17th edition of the Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon is set to hit shelves on September 14.
Four Roses Distillery has unveiled it will release its 2024 Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon on September 14. This will be the 17th bootleg in the annual series of limited-edition whiskeys.
Bottled at 108.2 proof, the Four Roses 2024 Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon features four hand-selected batches aged 12 to 20 years. Made from a blend of Four Roses’ 10 bourbon recipes, this year’s limited edition is composed of a 12-year-old bourbon from the OBSV recipe, a 15-year-old OESK, a 16-year-old OESF, and a 20-year-old OBSV.
“Each year, we strive to bring a new and exciting experience to your glass by blending variations of our distinct recipes to create something you’ve never tasted before from Four Roses,” said Brent Elliott, Four Roses Master Distiller. “This year, the recipes we hand-selected have created something truly vibrant, bright and unique, while still maintaining a nice delicate spice at the end.”
On the nose, the whiskey offers atoms of creamy vanilla, honey, and brown sugar. The palate finds ripe berries and tangy citrus on the palate. The finish features layers of complexity and sweetness, herbal notes and the brand’s signature mellow spice.
Four Roses will distribute approximately 16,000 750ml limited edition bottles in the United States at a suggested retail price of $220. Bottles can be purchased at the Four Roses Distillery Visitor Center in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky or at the Visitor Center at Four Roses Warehouse & Bottling Facility in Cox’s Creek, Kentucky starting on September 14. It will also roll out to select retailers across the country starting in September.
