Product Description

Four Roses Small Batch Select is yet another fine example of why our distillery is so unique. For this new Bourbon, I selected three of our proprietary yeast strains: V, K and F, and used in both mashbills. Small Batch Select is a mingling of 6 and 7 year-old Bourbons. It is non-chill filtered to give a more straight-from-the-barrel flavor, while remaining mellow and smooth at 104 proof. The Boubron retains the richness and depth of siz of our ten Bourbon recipes, exhibiting a complex and character greater than the sum of its parts. This mellow spirit is defined by a unique, candied fruit flavor balanced by spice for a refreshing, nuanced taste that fades into a long finish that is characteristic of the Four Roses family of Bourbons. Small Batch Select is an exciting addition to our portfolio of premium Bourbons and a proud achievement for our distillery. Please savor and enjoy. Cheers!

What critics and judges wrote

IWSC judges · Gold · 2026
An enticing blend of baking spices with a subtle savoury edge leads to a rich, robust palate where dark caramel, spiced vanilla, cinnamon, clove, and cocoa intertwine seamlessly. The finish is sweet and well-balanced, showcasing smooth warmth without overpowering strength.

Rich with a touch of oak and charred corn. Mountain herbs add a fresh note balanced by a hint of menthol and dark chocolate. The finish is smooth.
Silver · 90 pts2023iwsc.net ↗
Sweet cinnamon roasted nuts and dark chocolate flavours with a rich caramel note that builds on the palate. Intense spice undertones and good depth of flavour.
Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · July 2020
This is a concentrated sip—even with plenty of water—showing warm, toasty vanilla, sugar cookies and buttery brioche, finishing extra-long and drying, accented by plenty of baking spice. It's a real lip-smacker.

… this bourbon—a permanently available addition to the lineup—proves itself every bit the equal of its rarer brethren. … The palate is consistent and deep … Full, rich, and utterly satisfying.

Interesting, fruity aromas and flavors of dried apples and pears, roasted peanuts, vanilla, and cinnamon bread … Bold, well balanced and lightly spicy Bourbon with notes of toasted nuts and dried fruit for Old Fashioneds and sipping on the rocks.

Whisky Advocate · Susannah Skiver Barton · 2019
There's also orange blossom, pecans, cedar chest, and tobacco. Aromas and flavors unfold in layers, with rich oak, roasted pecans, and vanilla whipped cream juxtaposed against peppery spice, blueberry-cinnamon crumble, and sweet tea. Water reveals new depths.

The palate offers salted caramel and peanut shells, along with licorice, oak, and baking spices, with a bit of a sharp astringency coming through towards the back. This one stays chocolate through and through …

Brown sugar, caramel, charred oak and vanilla extract jump out on the nose whilst the palate holds more caramel, corn bread and light tobacco alongside dark chocolate with black pepper. There's sweet caramel and spice on the long finish.
