About this product
Four Roses Single Barrel represents the pinnacle of the 10-recipe system: individual barrels from a single recipe (typically OBSV or OESV — the higher ester yeast strains) bottled at 50% ABV without reduction or blending. The result varies by barrel but consistently delivers fruit-forward, spice-rich complexity: rose petal, raspberry, vanilla, and rye spice are the characteristic notes from the high-ester yeast strains. Each bottle carries the warehouse location, barrel number, and recipe code — making it among the most transparent American whiskies produced.
