Four Roses Single Barrel OESK

Four Roses Single Barrel OESK is a premium straight bourbon whiskey crafted at the Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Released as part of the 2025 Single Barrel Collection, this expression highlights one of Four Roses’ 10 unique bourbon recipes. The OESK recipe features a mash bill of 75% corn, 20% rye, and 5% malted barley, paired with the “K” yeast strain, which is known for imparting baking spice characteristics. Aged between 7 to 9 years and bottled at 100 proof, this bourbon offers a refined and balanced experience. What sets Four Roses apart is its use of two mash bills and five proprietary yeast strains, creating 10 distinct recipes. The OESK recipe is a departure from the flagship OBSV Single Barrel, offering drinkers a chance to explore a different flavor profile within the Four Roses portfolio. The Single Barrel Collection, introduced in 2025 to celebrate the distillery’s 20th anniversary under Kirin Brewery Company, rotates through these recipes annually, providing enthusiasts with a unique opportunity to experience the diversity of Four Roses’ craftsmanship. Priced near $50, Four Roses Single Barrel OESK is an excellent choice for bourbon enthusiasts seeking a high-quality, recipe-specific expression. Its combination of age, proof, and recipe-specific nuances makes it a compelling addition to any bourbon collection.
