Four Roses, Bourbon, Single Barrel, Private Selection, OESV

Four Roses utilizes a systematic matrix of ten distinct recipes, here selecting the "E" mashbill (75% corn, 20% rye, 5% malted barley) and the "V" yeast strain to achieve high-ester complexity and structural refinement. Distillation in copper column and doubler stills is followed by maturation in the producer's signature single-story rack warehouses, a technical decision that promotes uniform thermal aging and prevents the aggressive wood extraction common in multi-story facilities. This Private Selection is grounded in the Lawrenceburg distillery’s use of limestone-filtered water and the stable microclimate afforded by its low-profile maturation architecture. The OESV designation produces a bourbon characterized by a dense, creamy mid-palate and a firm, rye-driven frame that maintains technical balance at cask strength. The finish is defined by its textural clarity, integrating oak-derived tannins with a substantial, grain-forward weight.
