Process & Profile
Four Roses Limited Edition 2015 Small Batch Bourbon is one of the most collectible modern releases from Four Roses, created as a tribute to longtime Master Distiller Jim Rutledge during his final year before retirement. Released in 2015, this limited-edition bourbon brought together four mature barrels from three of Four Roses’ signature recipes, selected to create a rich, layered, and barrel-strength expression.
The 2015 blend includes 16-year-old OBSK, 15-year-old OESK, 14-year-old OESK, and 11-year-old OBSV. That recipe combination gives the whiskey a mix of high-rye spice, delicate fruit, firm oak, floral lift, and rich sweetness. Bottled at 108.5 proof, this bourbon delivers full barrel-strength character while still showing the balance and elegance that made Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch releases so highly regarded.
With approximately 12,600 bottles released, Four Roses Limited Edition 2015 Small Batch Bourbon has strong collector appeal. Its connection to Jim Rutledge, mature recipe components, non-chill filtered presentation, and balanced proof make it a standout bottle for Four Roses enthusiasts, limited bourbon collectors, and drinkers looking for a vintage Kentucky bourbon release with real historical significance.

How to Enjoy
Four Roses Limited Edition 2015 Small Batch Bourbon is best enjoyed neat in a whiskey tasting glass so the mature recipe components can open gradually. Let it rest for several minutes before sipping to allow the fruit, vanilla, cinnamon, tobacco, and oak spice to develop.
A few drops of water can help bring forward more vanilla, cherry, baking spice, and oak while softening the barrel-strength proof. A large ice cube can also work for a slower pour, but this bottle is best treated as a collectible sipping bourbon rather than a cocktail base. It is especially well suited for Four Roses vertical tastings, special occasions, and side-by-side comparisons with other Limited Edition Small Batch releases.
