The Four Roses Barrel Strength Small Batch Limited Edition Release 2025 54.5% vol. 0.7 l is an annual special release, strictly limited to 5,100 bottles, which impressively reflects the craftsmanship and time-honoured blending philosophy of the Four Roses Distillery. For the 18th edition, four selected batches from three different bourbon recipes have been combined, each drawn from Four Roses’ distinctive ten-recipe matrix. This year’s edition brings together a 13-year-old OBSV, a 13-year-old OBSK, a 13-year-old OESV and a 19-year-old OESV, resulting in a multi-layered and clearly structured composition. It is bottled exclusively at cask strength and is non-chill-filtered, thereby fully preserving the bourbon’s natural character.


With an alcohol content of 54.5 per cent by volume, this limited edition presents itself as a balanced blend of depth, maturity and aromatic precision. The carefully selected casks impressively demonstrate how Four Roses utilises its range of recipes to shape each annual edition into a unique interpretation of its own house style. The use of bourbons aged between 13 and 19 years lends this bottling a long-lasting, complex structure and clearly sets it apart within the Small Batch Linie. As a limited-edition collector’s bottling, it once again demonstrates just how precisely and meticulously Four Roses masters the art of bourbon blending.

The Four Roses Limited Edition 2025 is ideal for enjoying neat, as its cask strength and complex flavour profile really come into their own. It pairs harmoniously with slightly bitter dark chocolate, roasted nuts or desserts such as crème brûlée, elegantly complementing its sweet and spicy flavours. It also offers an exciting pairing with mature hard cheeses, grilled beef dishes or dishes with a slightly sweet glaze. In high-end mixology, it can be used as a base for robust bourbon cocktails, such as variations on the Old Fashioned that thrive on depth and spice. As a digestif, it impresses with a warm, structured and long-lasting aromatic finish.
