Four Roses, a Kentucky distillery, was founded in 1888 by Paul Jones Jr. The name "Four Roses" was inspired by a Southern belle whom Jones proposed to. She wore a corsage of four red roses, which he took as a sign of acceptance. During Prohibition in the 1920s, Four Roses made medicinal whiskey to stay afloat. When Prohibition ended in 1933, Four Roses went back to making bourbon. In the mid-1900s, Four Roses started exporting bourbon to Europe where it became popular. But in the 1950s, Four Roses stopped selling bourbon in the US and only sold it overseas to cater to European tastes for a lighter whiskey. Four Roses bourbon was absent from the US for decades, but still held a high reputation in Europe and Asia. It was acquired by Kirin Brewery in 2002, modernized, and reintroduced to the US, while still maintaining traditional production methods and quality standards. Four Roses distills ten separate Bourbons using two mash recipes and five yeast strains. Master distiller sets aside a limited number of exceptionally smooth and complex barrels from our 10 bourbon recipes. Customers can participate in a private tasting to choose their preferred barrel, which is then bottled as a non-chill filtered, barrel-strength private selection single barrel bourbon. These barrels age for 7-12 years and produce about 100-170 bottles each.
