Released in 2016 at 111.8 proof, Elliott’s Select features the OBSV recipe—the high-rye mashbill paired with the delicate “V” yeast strain renowned for its balance of fruit, spice, and elegance. Aged for 14 years, this single barrel bourbon delivers a bold yet refined character that speaks to both maturity and masterful selection.
On the nose, it opens with ripe orchard fruit, vanilla, and toasted oak, underscored by warm baking spice. The palate is full-bodied and complex, with layers of dark cherry, caramel, honey, and rich oak tannins, complemented by subtle floral and peppery notes. The finish is long, structured, and satisfying—an eloquent reflection of Four Roses’ blending and single barrel expertise.
Produced in extremely limited quantities, Elliott’s Select 2016 has become a coveted collector’s bottle and a defining release in the Four Roses legacy, marking the beginning of Brent Elliott’s influence as Master Distiller.
