Four Roses Bourbon began its journey in 1888, when the company’s founder, Paul Jones Jr., relocated to the “Whiskey Row” section of Main Street in Louisville, Kentucky, and trademarked the brand’s iconic name. Over the decades since, the company has refined its distilling process, utilizing two mash bills that combine five proprietary yeast strains to deliver a complex variety of ten unique bourbon recipes. This expertise has culminated in the new Four Roses Bourbon 2024 Limited Edition, promising a symphony of complex but nevertheless, complementary flavors brought together through an aging process spanning twelve to twenty years.
At 108.9 proof, it’s a bourbon that packs a punch without compromising the creamy vanilla, brown sugar, and honey taste on the nose. The sweet and creamy nose presented by the Four Roses Bourbon 2024 Limited Edition is followed by a fruity palate, blending ripe berries with a subtle tangy citrus that brings in a welcome layer of complexity. Throughout this comes additional herbal notes, balanced with the signature Four Roses mellow spice that brings the sweetness and complexity together in a unified whole.
Presented in a classically designed bottle and released in a small batch at a selection of Four Roses distillery locations, the Four Roses Bourbon 2024 Limited Edition is a refined addition to the distillery’s beverage offerings.
