Four Roses· Release Guide
Four Roses LESB.
A year-by-year cheat sheet for the Limited Edition Small Batch
Every Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch release is a blend of recipes, chosen on purpose. Four Roses runs ten bourbon recipes, five yeast strains crossed with two mash bills, and the annual Limited Edition is where the master distiller picks a handful of them, at specific ages, and marries them into one barrel-strength release. The 2015 wasn't built from the same recipes as the 2021. A fifteen-year OBSV in the blend pulls in a different direction than a sixteen-year OESK. The makeup changes every year, and so does the bottle.
For collectors and enthusiasts, that's the whole game. The proof is non-chill-filtered and uncut; the age statements move; the recipe mix is the master distiller's signature on that particular year. Below is the working reference we keep at Cana, every Limited Edition Small Batch release in order, with proof, the recipes in the blend, the ages of each, and the production notes that explain why no two years taste alike.

How to read this table
Proof is bottle proof, uncut and unfiltered. Age is years and months from the day it entered the barrel to the day it was bottled. Warehouse is the rickhouse letter where the barrels matured — multiple letters mean a release was a blend of barrels from more than one rickhouse. Floor is the floor (or floors) those barrels rested on. Higher floors run hotter and yield more aggressive evaporation; lower floors are cooler and slower.
