Whiskey Review: Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon

We’re diving into one of the staples of the bourbon shelf: Four Roses Small Batch. It’s been a while since we’ve had anything from Four Roses on the podcast, and this expression sits just above their entry-level Yellow Label offering. Where Yellow Label blends all ten of Four Roses’ proprietary bourbon recipes, Small Batch narrows it down to just four: OBSK, OESK, OBSO, and OESO. Four Roses is known for its high-rye and low-rye mash bills and five different yeast strains, which combine to create those ten unique recipes. Small Batch is bottled at 90 proof, up from the 80 proof of Yellow Label, and carries no age statement, though most estimates put it around 6–7 years. With a shelf price around $37, it competes directly with fan favorites like Elijah Craig and Cooper’s Craft 100. Is it worth your money? Let’s find out.
