The top selling bourbon in America from 1930 to 1950 Four Roses has only recently been reintroduced into the American market and was awarded Whisky Distiller of the Year by Whisky Magazine in 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2015. The name comes from a corsage of roses worn by a Southern belle as a symbol of acceptance of founder Paul Jones Jr's proposal of marriage.
This bourbon is one of two Four Roses products that are sold only in Japan, with the other being Four Roses Black Label.
Four Roses Super Premium is a completely different product than what you can buy in the U.S. While it uses the same traditional Four Roses recipes, the percentages are different than what you will find in a Four Roses Yellow or Four Roses Small Batch in the U.S. The bourbon is dumped from the barrel at the Four Roses distillery in Kentucky and then sent over to Kirin in Japan for bottling and distribution. The bottle contains the classic embossed Four Roses flower symbol that can be found on other bottlings, however the symbol itself is made of a light metal versus glass. Incidentally, this bourbon is also sometimes referred to as Four Roses “Platinum.”
43% ABV / 75cl
