Four Roses OBSV Single Barrel for Al Young 50th Anniversary / Whisky Magazine

This bottling features the OBSV recipe, Four Roses’ signature high-rye mashbill (60% corn, 35% rye, 5% malted barley) paired with the delicate “V” yeast strain, known for its balanced fruit, spice, and floral notes. Selected as a single barrel, it captures the essence of Four Roses’ complexity while allowing the unique personality of the individual cask to shine.

Bottled at cask strength, this release offers an unfiltered experience of rich and layered flavors. The nose delivers red fruit, vanilla, and caramel, accented by warm oak and subtle floral undertones. On the palate, it unfolds with dark cherry, toffee, baking spice, and honeyed oak, finishing long and elegant with a balance of sweetness and rye spice.

Produced in extremely limited quantities for Whisky Magazine, this Al Young 50th Anniversary OBSV Single Barrel is not only a collector’s gem but also a heartfelt celebration of one of Four Roses’ most influential figures.
