Four Roses OBSK Single Barrel Bourbon Hotel Covington Pick 125.2 Proof

125.2 proof. OBSK. Hotel Covington Pick. Four Roses — the highest-proof Four Roses OBSK single barrel in the current Wooden Cork collection, selected by Hotel Covington — a Kentucky hospitality venue with direct roots in the state's bourbon culture.

OBSK is one of Four Roses' ten proprietary mashbill-yeast combinations: O = Four Roses Distillery, B = Straight Bourbon, S = Small (high rye) mashbill, K = the K-strain yeast that produces a full-bodied, spicy profile. The OBSK combination is among the most assertive of the ten Four Roses recipes — the high rye mash bill produces grain spice while the K yeast adds full-bodied, caramel richness.

The five OBSK single barrels currently in the Wooden Cork collection span 119 to 125.2 proof, with the Hotel Covington pick at 125.2 representing the highest natural proof barrel of the five. The 7 units in stock make it the most available OBSK barrel in the current catalog.
