What does Four Roses do?

Four Roses Distillery is a renowned bourbon producer located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Established in the late 19th century, the distillery features a distinctive Spanish Mission-style architecture and has been recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. Owned by Kirin Brewery Company since 2002, Four Roses has a rich history that includes navigating Prohibition and revitalizing its brand under master distiller Jim Rutledge. The distillery employs a unique production process that combines five proprietary yeast strains with two mashbills, resulting in ten distinct bourbon recipes. This allows for a variety of flavor profiles in their products. Four Roses specializes in premium Kentucky straight bourbons, including Four Roses Single Barrel, known for its bold flavors, and Four Roses Small Batch, which is a blend of select recipes. The brand has a strong export presence, particularly in Japan and Asia, and targets bourbon enthusiasts in the U.S. through retail and bars.
