The addition of a bold 19-year-old OESV and OBSK brings layers of antique oak, rye, and depth for a truly balanced and complex profile. From the sweet, fruit-forward nose to the long, soft finish, every sip is a masterclass in craftsmanship - showcasing Four Roses’ signature mellow spice. This is more than a bourbon - it’s a celebration of age, character, and harmony in a bottle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis year’s Four Roses 2025 Limited Edition Small Batch is a delightful bourbon that showcases the depth and breadth of the aged bourbon that Four Roses has to blend with.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Jordan Moskal, Breaking Bourbon (Very Good)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWhen Four Roses nails it, they really nail it – and the 2025 release nailed it.

That’s the story of this remarkably consistent, almost-always nuanced offering from Brent Elliott and team. The 2025 Four Roses LE might not be my absolute favorite in the past decade of these releases — that distinction still goes to 2019 — but it’s an absolutely delicious dram and worthy next step in the lineup. For the average bourbon drinker, there’s a whole lot to love here. And for Four Roses superfans, this immediately becomes a must-chase bottle.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - David Thomas Tao, VinePair (95 Points)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e\"The aroma is complex with a mix of leather, dark chocolate, vanilla, toasted cereal and bright fruits like cherry, plums, and apples. Oak is present as well as gentle smoke. The body of the bourbon is medium full and somewhat chewy on the palate. The hearty rye spice and vanilla sweetness come through on the palate taming those fruit notes a bit. At barrel strength, it's a bit warming on the finish but easy enough to drink neat. Add a splash of water if you'd like to round out the prickly barrel spices. This one is fruity, but not dessert level sweet which makes this an enjoyable one for any time of day.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Stephanie Moreno, Distiller (93 Points)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eRich and delicious from first sip to the last lingering note of the finish, this should be regarded as one of the best bourbons of 2025.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - David Morrow, The Daily Pour (95 Points)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Four Roses","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48491293671639,"sku":"FOUR-ROSES-SML-BATCH-BARREL-2025","price":449.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/9753\/6596\/files\/tds-four-roses-small-batch-barrel-strength-2025.jpg?v=1776320519","url":"https:\/\/thedrinksociety.com.au\/products\/four-roses-small-batch-barrel-strength-limited-edition-2025-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey-700ml","provider":"The Drink Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
