Four Roses Small Batch Select is a Kentucky straight bourbon made by mingling selected bourbon recipes from the distillery's range. It is bottled at a relatively robust proof and is generally known for combining richness with a lively, spice-forward character.
For a novice drinker, expect a fuller style of bourbon with classic notes of sweet oak, vanilla, and baking spice, balanced by fruit and rye-driven lift. It is often appreciated as a more layered, sipping-focused bourbon rather than an especially soft or simple one.
