Four Roses 2011 Limited Edition Small Batch

Barrel strength. Non-chill filtered. The 2011 Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch — Jim Rutledge's annual barrel-strength selection from the 10-recipe program, now over a decade from primary distribution and part of the most comprehensive Four Roses LE vertical in the Wooden Cork collection.

The 2011 LE Small Batch is a Jim Rutledge-era release from the height of Four Roses' American revival — the period when the brand had re-established its domestic presence and the Annual LE was becoming one of the most anticipated events on the American bourbon calendar. Rutledge's 2011 selection reflects the specific recipe combination and aged barrel inventory he identified as optimal for that year's expression.

Together with the 2014 and 2015 vintages also in the Wooden Cork inventory, the 2011 forms part of a growing Rutledge-era LE vertical spanning multiple years of his celebrated tenure. Each is barrel strength, non-chill filtered, and documented — a permanent record of the Four Roses 10-recipe program under one of American whiskey's most recognized Master Distillers.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What Four Roses LE vintages are currently in the Wooden Cork collection? The Wooden Cork Four Roses inventory spans: 2011, 2014, 2015 (all Rutledge-era Annual LE); 2008 and 2009 Mariage visitor center exclusives; 100th, 120th, 125th, 130th, and 135th Anniversary milestone releases. Together these form one of the most comprehensive Four Roses collectible inventories available through any single specialty retailer.
• Why is the 2011 significant within the Rutledge LE vertical? The 2011 predates the peak of Four Roses' American collector demand — a period when the LE was increasingly recognized but not yet commanding the premiums of later vintages. As an early Rutledge-era LE now over a decade out, it represents the program in a formative moment.
• Is the 2011 LE Small Batch still available? Yes — available now in limited quantities.
