Are you ready for a bourbon showdown? Today, we’re diving deep into the highly anticipated Four Roses Single Barrel Collection, pitting two exciting new recipes – OBSF and OESK – against each other in a head-to-head tasting!
In late 2024, Four Roses made waves with the announcement of their 2025 Single Barrel Collection, a special release celebrating the 20th anniversary of their iconic Single Barrel offering. For 2025, bourbon lovers are in for a treat with the introduction of three new 100-proof Single Barrel bourbons – OBSF, OESK, and OESO – joining the beloved flagship Single Barrel, OBSV.
But what makes OBSF and OESK so intriguing? Let’s break it down:
OBSF: This intriguing recipe features Mash Bill B (35% rye, 60% corn) combined with yeast strain F. Prepare your palate for a symphony of flavors, including distinctive herbal notes, bright rye spice, crisp apple, smooth vanilla, warm clove, and a hint of rich cocoa.
OESK: On the other side of the ring, we have OESK, crafted with Mash Bill E (20% rye, 75% corn) and yeast strain K. This expression promises a delightful profile of classic baking spices, mellow oak undertones, delicate tea leaves, and luscious caramel.
Which of these new expressions will reign supreme? Will the vibrant complexity of OBSF win us over, or will the comforting embrace of OESK steal the show?
