Four Roses Small Batch is a step up from the classic Four Roses Bourbon, showcasing the variety of mashbills that the distillers have to work within Lawrenceburg - and their talents at making them sing together. Ten bourbon recipes are produced by Four Roses, and four of them are blended to create this approachable but flavoursome expression. Great value-for-money stuff, this.
The nose is quite subtle and smooth, there are notes of winter spice and buttered granary toast with thick honey. There are hints of cut flowers and dry hay.
The palate is much fuller with a lovely balance. There are notes of manuka honey, winter spice, toasty oak, a little crème anglaise and thick fruit.
The finish is of good length with a resurgence from the crème anglaise.

Spicy and crisp with slight touches of honey. A decent drink but for sure not my favourite bourbon. Price does not reflect quality when it comes to this small batch four roses bourbon.
A really nice sip-friendly bourbon, with loads of typical bourbon notes, amped up a bit. Will be perfect for the summer, having a wee bit of dram during barbecues. Lovely. Tomas, Sweden.
You won’t get a better bourbon for the price. My go to sipping whisky.
I love this. It is my favorite served neat. The single-barrel flavor is good, but a little to strong for me to enjoy them (similar to Bulleit). I won't get the standard again, except maybe for mixed drinks. The small batch is sooo much better.
Lithe, smooth, with strong floral notes (which I happen to enjoy), I find Small Batch refreshingly affordable and a nice treat at the end of a long day.
