Four Roses Launches Experimental Series With Mizunara Cask Finish
Four Roses Distillery has announced the launch of its new Experimental Series, a limited-edition collection that pushes the boundaries of the brand’s traditional 10-recipe framework. The first three releases in the series will explore unique cask finishes, while future releases will move beyond finishing into other forms of experimentation.
The inaugural release, Experimental Series No. 001, is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in Japanese Mizunara oak barrels. Developed through extensive trials across recipes, yeast strains, barrel specifications, and toast and char combinations, Master Distiller Brent Elliott ultimately selected a six year old OBSK recipe for its ability to complement Mizunara oak’s layered spice characteristics while allowing its sweeter and more nuanced notes to shine through.
Four Roses Experimental Series No. 001 will be available for purchase at the Four Roses Distillery Visitor Center beginning July 30 for $55 per 375 mL bottle.
