Maker:
Four Roses Bourbon is a true testament to the artistry of bourbon making, rooted in a legacy that dates back to 1888. It all began with a simple yet meaningful proposal, when Paul Jones Jr. proposed to his fiancée with four red roses, a gesture that would forever be tied to the brand’s identity. Since then, Four Roses has become a revered name in the world of bourbon. With a commitment to quality that has spanned generations, the brand continues to craft exceptional bourbons under the guidance of Master Distiller Brent Elliott. Known for their meticulous attention to detail, Four Roses creates ten distinct bourbon recipes by blending two unique mash bills with five proprietary yeast strains, resulting in a flavour profile that offers a depth and complexity unmatched in the industry. This dedication to innovation and quality, combined with traditional methods, ensures Four Roses continues to stand out as one of the world’s most beloved bourbon brands.
Perfect for those looking to explore the rich world of bourbon, Four Roses Yellow Label is an outstanding choice, offering versatility, flavour, and a smooth drinking experience with every pour.
Distillery:
Nestled in the heart of Kentucky, Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg is where the magic of bourbon begins. The distillery combines tradition with innovation, using limestone-rich water from the spring-fed Salt River and two distinct mash bills—one with 60% corn and the other with 75% corn—blended with five proprietary yeast strains. This results in ten unique recipes, each contributing its own signature flavour to the batch. The distillation process utilises both a column still and a doubler, ensuring a clean and pure distillate. Four Roses’ commitment to excellence extends to its warehousing, where they use single-story rack warehouses to provide a gentle, consistent maturing environment. This unique approach, combined with aging in charred, new American oak barrels, imparts rich, sweet vanilla and toffee notes to the final product. From the very first step of mashing and fermentation to the final bottling, Four Roses continues to craft bourbons that are both consistently exceptional and rich in flavour, honouring a legacy that began over a century ago.
