Description
The Four Roses 125th Anniversary Limited Edition is a highly allocated, 103.2 Proof (51.6% ABV) barrel strength bourbon released in 2013 to critical acclaim, eventually being named “American Whiskey of the Year.” This technical masterpiece was meticulously curated by legendary Master Distiller Jim Rutledge as a precise marriage of three distinct recipes: an 18-year-old OBSV, a 13-year-old OBSK, and a 13-year-old OESK. This blend was engineered to showcase the synergy between well-aged, high-rye barrels and the softer, spicy characteristics of the “K” yeast strain.
Produced at the Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg, KY, this 125th Anniversary bottling is celebrated for its structural depth. The technical maturation in single-story rackhouses ensured a steady extraction of wood sugars, resulting in a chemical profile defined by rich esters of dried fruit, tobacco, and old leather. On the palate, it delivers a dense, creamy mouthfeel with notes of ripe plum, black cherry, and a complex array of baking spices. The finish is remarkably long and elegant, highlighting the sophisticated balance of oak tannins and vibrant spirit that defined the Rutledge era.
