Product Details
The distinction of Four Roses lies in its unique, secret "four-recipe" process. The distillery utilizes two mash bills combined with five yeast strains to create ten distinct spirits. This yellow-label bourbon is a master blend of these ten spirits, ensuring a balanced and rich flavor profile in every bottle. Its smooth, approachable nature makes it the ideal choice for neat drinking, on the rocks, or as the foundation for an Old Fashioned cocktail.
Read More About the Brand
The history of Four Roses dates back to 1888, when founder Paul Jones Jr. marked his premium whiskey with the iconic rose emblem. Located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, the distillery is known for its unique Spanish Mission-style architecture, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Four Roses is one of the few bourbon distilleries to utilize a multi-mash-bill and yeast-strain system. One mash bill contains 75% corn (for rich fruitiness), while the other contains 60% corn (for a spicier profile). By pairing these with five distinct yeast strains, they create ten unique spirits that provide master blenders with endless creative possibilities. This sophisticated craftsmanship has earned Four Roses an esteemed reputation among whiskey lovers globally, especially in Japan and Europe.
