Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon
Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon is a premium American whiskey made by the Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. It is a high-quality bourbon made from a mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, and aged for a minimum of 8 years in new, charred oak barrels.
What makes Four Roses Single Barrel unique is that each bottle is taken from a single barrel, rather than being blended with whiskey from other barrels. This means that each bottle has its own distinct flavor profile and characteristics, based on the specific barrel it was aged in.
Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon is known for its smoothness, richness, and complexity, with notes of caramel, vanilla, oak, and spice. It is often enjoyed neat or on the rocks, but can also be used in cocktails.
History
The history of Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon dates back to the late 1800s, when the Four Roses Distillery was founded in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. The distillery was known for producing high-quality bourbon, and its name became synonymous with quality in the whiskey industry.
In the 1930s, Prohibition forced the distillery to shut down, but it reopened after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. In the following decades, Four Roses became one of the top-selling bourbon brands in the United States, thanks to its high quality and distinctive flavor.
However, in the 1950s, the brand’s popularity began to decline, and in the 1980s, the distillery stopped producing bourbon for the U.S. market. Instead, it focused on producing whiskey for export to Japan, where Four Roses was still highly regarded.
In 2002, the Four Roses brand was acquired by the Kirin Brewery Company, which invested in the distillery and began reintroducing Four Roses Bourbon to the U.S. market. Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon was introduced in 2004, and quickly became a popular choice among bourbon enthusiasts.
Today, Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon is known for its exceptional quality and distinctive flavor profile, and has won numerous awards and accolades in the whiskey industry. The brand continues to be owned by Kirin Holdings Company Limited, and the Lawrenceburg distillery remains the home of Four Roses Bourbon.
