In this episode of Bourbon Lens, Jake and Scott dive into the highly anticipated Four Roses 2025 Limited Edition Small Batch release. Bottled at barrel strength and showcasing some of Four Roses’ most unique recipes, this year’s Limited Edition is built around two 13-year-old V batches, said to deliver notes of apricot, vanilla, and caramel.

According to Four Roses, the blend is elevated by the addition of a 19-year-old OESV and OBSK, bringing layers of antique oak, rye spice, and remarkable depth for a truly balanced and complex flavor profile. At 109 proof, the 2025 Limited Edition Small Batch captures everything fans love about Four Roses — sweet fruit-forward aromas, mellow spice, and a long, soft finish.

Jake and Scott also discuss the broader Four Roses single barrel program, how the distillery continues to leverage its 10 distinct recipes, and what Bourbon fans might expect from future releases. This episode is a must-listen for collectors and enthusiasts eager to learn more about one of the most respected annual Bourbon releases.
