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.

Jack Daniels 14 Year: Worth the Wait? Our Honest Review! 

/ bourbonjourney / Leave a comment

Intrigued by our deep dive into the Jack Daniel’s 12 Year back on March 24th, 2025? Well, the journey into aged Tennessee whiskey continues! We’ve managed to snag a highly coveted bottle of the Jack Daniel’s 14 Year Batch 1, and you know we couldn’t wait to share our experience with you.

This isn’t just another whiskey review; it’s a step into history. As Jack Daniel’s themselves stated in their press release, this release marks their oldest age-stated whiskey in over a century! Think about that – a taste of liquid history, matured to perfection right here in Lynchburg, Tennessee.

Just like the iconic Old No. 7, this 14-year-old expression starts with their signature mash bill (80% corn, 12% malted barley, 8% rye) and undergoes the Lincoln County Process – that meticulous drop-by-drop mellowing through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal. But what magic does those extra two years in the barrel impart? At a bold 126.3 proof (63.15% ABV), this promises a rich and intense experience.

The buzz around this release has been incredible. Will it live up to the hype? Will it surpass the impressive 12-year-old in our books? You can bet your favorite sipping glass that we’ll be delivering our unfiltered, honest assessment as we taste, dissect the nuances, and compare this remarkable whiskey.

Ready to join the tasting? Hit that play button now to witness our first impressions, detailed review, and final verdict on the Jack Daniel’s 14 Year Batch 1!

We want to hear from YOU too! Have you managed to get your hands on a bottle? What are your thoughts on this historic release? Drop a comment below – we love discussing whiskey with our community! Cheers!
