A Private Selection takes one barrel of one recipe and bottles it uncut, so nothing about the release repeats — recipe, age and proof change with every cask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOESV pairs the E mashbill — 75% corn, 20% rye, 5% malted barley — with the V yeast strain. Four Roses describes it as the most subtle of the ten: delicate fruit and caramel, pear and apricot balanced against corn and rye rather than heavy spice. It's the recipe most often held back for long aging, and fifteen years and seven months is well beyond where most Private Selection barrels are dumped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Father's Day back label reads \"Raise a Glass to the Man Who Raised You Well — Happy Father's Day.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich caramel, mature oak and vanilla leading into dark cherry, baked red fruit and honey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown sugar, baking spice, toasted oak and creamy vanilla layered over the recipe's delicate fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming, with lingering fruit, spice and seasoned oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four Roses, Lawrenceburg, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Barrel Private Selection, barrel strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e Father's Day 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecipe:\u003c\/strong\u003e OESV (75% corn, 20% rye, 5% malted barley; V yeast)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 years, 7 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 126.2 (63.1% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarehouse:\u003c\/strong\u003e PS  |  \u003cstrong\u003eBarrel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 59-2V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\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\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow does this differ from the Father's Day 2024 OESV bottlings?\u003c\/strong\u003e Different year, different barrel, different whiskey.
