Four Roses

United States

Four Roses is a historic Kentucky Straight Bourbon whiskey brand founded in 1888 by Paul Jones Jr. The name originates from a romantic legend: Jones fell in love with a Southern belle who accepted his marriage proposal at a ball wearing a corsage of four roses. Currently owned and meticulously operated by Japan's Kirin Brewery Company, Four Roses is uniquely distinguished in the bourbon industry by its use of two mashbills and five proprietary yeast strains, creating ten distinct bourbon recipes. Produced at the Lawrenceburg distillery using limestone-filtered water from the Kentucky River and premium grains, Four Roses delivers an exceptionally smooth, delicate, and floral flavor profile with elegant complexity, making it a benchmark for refined American bourbon and a favorite among connoisseurs worldwide.
