Four Roses makes 10 distinct recipes of whiskey. They start with two different mash bills:

60% corn, 35% rye, and 5% malted barley

or 75% corn, 20% rye, and 5% malted barley

Once the mash is cooked, the mixture is fermented using one of five different distinct strains of yeast. Each of these distinct concoctions is then distilled and barreled separately in charred new oak barrels (charred somewhere between a #3 and a #4 char).

After enough time to satisfy the “Straight bourbon whiskey” appellation (roughly 6 to 8 years according to some sources), the barrels are blended together in batches of approximately 250 barrels to create the “small batch” production run that’s put in the bottle and shipped out.
