The More

Excepts Taken fromWikipedia Four Roses is a brand of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey produced by the Kirin Brewery Company of Japan. The brand’s distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, was built in 1910 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The company distills ten separate bourbons using two mash recipes and five yeast strains. From combining these ten bourbons, the Four Roses distillery creates their standard bourbon. The single barrel bottlings are made with only one of those ten bourbons. The brand’s regular bottlings are:

  • Four Roses Bourbon: 80 U.S. proof;[15] sold in U.S., Europe and Japan
  • Four Roses Small Batch: 90 proof;[15] sold in U.S. and Europe
  • Four Roses Single Barrel: 100 proof;[15] sold in U.S., Europe, and in small volumes in Japan
  • Four Roses Small Batch Select: 104 proof; aged at least six years;[15] non-chill-filtered; sold in U.S.
  • Four Roses Black: 80 proof; sold in Japan
  • Four Roses Super Premium: 86 proof; sold in Japan

The company also produces special limited-production commemorative releases. These are often non-chill-filtered and bottled at barrel proof.[15]

The Four Roses distillery has also produced Bulleit Bourbon for the Diageo beverage conglomerate.

In April 2019, the Four Roses distillery completed a $55 million expansion project that coincided with the official launch of Small Batch Select – the first permanent addition to the distillery’s bourbon lineup in 12 years.[11][12] The distillery’s expansion project began in 2015 and resulted in the ability to double production capacity
