• It’s a limited edition release; after the initial 2017/2018 releases, there were no more in the near term.

 What Distinguishes Four Grain from Other Bourbons

• The inclusion of malted barley in addition to rye and wheat is unusual. Many bourbons use three grains (corn + one or two of rye/wheat/malted barley), but having all four adds complexity.

• Because of the mashbill and the extended aging (~12 years), the bourbon tends to have more depth (malt, darker notes) than younger wheated bourbons or bourbons that omit malted barley.

• Bottled‑in‑Bond status adds regulatory assurance (distilled during one season, in one distillery, aged in bond warehouse, etc.), which appeals to collectors and purity/quality‑conscious drinkers
