Long coveted by whiskey enthusiasts who once had to hunt down rare private barrel picks, this special release brings one of Four Roses' most unique historic recipes directly into the spotlight. Aged in single-story warehouses where a steady climate nurtures each cask evenly, this single barrel pairs a sweeter corn-forward recipe with an aromatic herbal yeast strain. The result is a beautifully textured pour that opens with candied orchard fruit and warm cornbread, gracefully balanced by fresh garden mint and delicate baking spices. It is an inviting, character-rich find that feels right at home whether savored neat or poured for close friends around the table.
