How does Small Batch compare to the Yellow Label?

Nose: Sweet, fruity aromas with the mellow spice of the four-recipe blend
Palate: Rich and spicy with hints of sweet oak and caramel
Finish: Soft, smooth, and pleasantly long

Yellow Label blends all 10 recipes at 80 proof — the most accessible and floral entry point. Small Batch blends 4 specific recipes at 90 proof — more focused spice and fruit complexity at a slightly higher proof. Small Batch is the step up for those who want more intensity and depth from the Four Roses house style.

Four Roses Small Batch

$34.99

Four Roses Small Batch is the four-recipe blend that sits between the accessible ten-recipe Yellow Label and the premium Small Batch Select — a mellow symphony of rich, spicy flavors with sweet, fruity aromas, hints of sweet oak and caramel, and a soft, smooth, pleasantly long finish at 90 proof.

The four recipes selected for Small Batch each contribute specific character: the combination produces the fruity sweetness and spice balance that has made Four Roses Small Batch one of the most recommended everyday bourbon picks at the premium level. At 90 proof, it is approachable enough for casual sipping but complex enough for neat enjoyment — the four-recipe blend providing more depth than the Yellow Label while remaining more accessible than the 104-proof Small Batch Select or the barrel-strength Single Barrel.
