Four Roses Bourbon
This line of Kentucky Bourbon was started in 1884 and Seagrams bought the company in 1943. It became an export-only distillery but is once again available in the US. During its 64 years on foreign soil, it became the top Bourbon in European and Asian markets.
The name “Four Roses” came from founder Paul Jones Jr. He prosoped to a women who said that if her answer was, “Yes,” she would wear a corsage of four roses to the upcoming grand ball. She did. Jones’ passion for the woman translated into
his Bourbon.
The Small Batch (90 proof) has rich, spicy flavors, sweet, fruity aromas and hints of sweet oak with a warm caramel aroma. The Single Barrel (100 proof) has mellow ripe plum, cherry and fruity flavors and spicy, maple syrup and cocoa aromas.
Four Roses recommends their Bourbon be enjoyed neat or on the rocks.
