Expert Review

8/10

Four Roses uniquely combines 2 mashbills with 5 proprietary yeast strains, yielding 10 distinct recipes. Small Batch Select uses 6 of those 10, non-chill filtered at 104 proof. Launched 2019 under Master Distiller Brent Elliott, extending the legacy of Jim Rutledge who revived Four Roses after Seagram's pulled it from US shelves in the late 1950s.
