Four Roses Private Selection Single Barrel Strength OBSV Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

The Four Roses Private Selection OBSV is a highly allocated, barrel strength single barrel bourbon and serves as the technical foundation for the distillerys flagship single barrel expression. The “OBSV” designation indicates a specific chemical blueprint: the high-rye “B” mash bill (60% corn, 35% rye, 5% malted barley) paired with the “V” yeast strain, which is engineered to produce delicate fruit and light floral esters. While this recipe is the standard for the 100-proof retail release, the Private Selection version is bottled at barrel strength, preserving the raw intensity of the spirit.

Produced at the Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg, KY, and matured in their single-story rackhouses, this technical release highlights the structural synergy between the high rye content and the “V” yeast strain. The fermentation process yields a chemical profile defined by bright notes of pear, apricot, and subtle rose petals, balanced by the sharp spice of the rye. The non-chill filtered presentation ensures a dense, oily mouthfeel that carries deep layers of caramel and toasted oak, offering a more robust and nuanced experience than the standard diluted expression.
