Non-chill filtered. The 135th Anniversary Limited Edition Small Batch from Four Roses — a milestone commemorative release celebrating 135 years of the Lawrenceburg, Kentucky distillery, assembled by Master Distiller Brent Elliott from the distillery's unique 10-recipe program.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFour Roses was established in 1888 in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky — making 2023 its 135th year of operation. The distillery produces 10 distinct bourbon recipes from two mashbills crossed with five proprietary yeast strains, giving Master Distiller Brent Elliott unmatched flexibility in assembling the Annual Limited Edition Small Batch. The 135th Anniversary edition is a milestone release within this tradition — a specific recipe combination selected to honor the distillery's founding year with the same barrel-strength, non-chill filtered approach that defines the LE program.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLike all Four Roses LE Small Batches, the 135th Anniversary blend is fully documented: the specific recipes selected, the ages of the component barrels, and the natural barrel-strength proof are all disclosed. This transparency is what distinguishes the Four Roses LE program from most other annual releases — a commitment to provenance documentation that collectors and enthusiasts prize as much as the liquid itself.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four Roses, Lawrenceburg, Kentucky (est. 1888)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel strength, non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e 135th Anniversary Limited Edition Small Batch\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaster Distiller:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brent Elliott\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExplore the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/four-roses\"\u003eFour Roses collection\u003c\/a\u003e or browse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does the 135th Anniversary differ from the standard Annual LE Small Batch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 135th Anniversary is a milestone commemorative release within the LE Small Batch tradition — assembled for the specific occasion of Four Roses' 135th founding year. It carries the full LE standard (barrel strength, non-chill filtered, documented recipe combination) with the additional significance of the founding anniversary designation.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWho is Brent Elliott?\u003c\/strong\u003e Brent Elliott became Four Roses' Master Distiller in 2015 following Jim Rutledge's retirement.

The two mashbills (high-rye OB and low-rye OE) crossed with five proprietary yeast strains (Q, K, O, F, V — each producing a distinct flavor profile) give the Master Distiller extraordinary range in assembling blends that no single-recipe distillery can match.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIs the 135th Anniversary LE still available?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — available now in limited quantities.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e {   \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",   \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",   \"mainEntity\": [     { \"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How does the 135th Anniversary differ from the standard Annual LE Small Batch?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The 135th Anniversary is a milestone commemorative release within the LE tradition, carrying the full LE standard with the additional significance of the founding anniversary designation.\" } },     { \"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Who is Brent Elliott?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Became Four Roses Master Distiller in 2015 following Jim Rutledge's retirement.
