Four Roses Bourbon is the distillery’s core Kentucky straight bourbon in a one-litre bottle. It blends different recipes to give a softer profile than its single-barrel expression.
About This Whisky
Four Roses uses two grain recipes and five yeast strains across its bourbon range. Its standard Bourbon brings those recipes together, unlike the separate OBSV recipe used for the flagship Single Barrel.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Fresh fruit, grain and vanilla.
- Palate: Honeyed corn, pear and mild spice.
- Finish: Gentle oak and fruit.
Serving & Food
A highball with soda shows the fruit clearly; a peel of orange is enough garnish. With food, try glazed pork for a sweet-and-savoury contrast.
How to Enjoy

About the Distillery
Four Roses distils in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Its different combinations of mash bill and yeast are aged separately before selection for particular expressions. The standard bourbon draws broadly across the recipe set, while other releases select fewer recipes or one barrel. This distinction helps explain the range without assuming every bottle has the same proof.
