Buy Four Roses Bourbon 750ml — Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

TASTING PROFILE

The Four Roses Bourbon 750ml bottle is built from a blend of ten unique bourbon recipes — a combination of five proprietary yeast strains and two mash bills — each distilled and aged in separate barrels before master distillers marry them into the final product. This recipe-blending approach is unique among major Kentucky distilleries and drives the brand’s signature floral, fruit-forward character.

The Profile

• Producer: Four Roses Distillery
• Region: Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, USA
• Spirit Type: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Blended, Ten-Recipe)
• Proof/ABV: 80 Proof (40% ABV)
• Mash Bill: Blend of two mash bills (both high-rye relative to standard bourbon) across five proprietary yeast strains

Sensory Tasting Notes

The Nose

Ripe pear and floral notes — a signature of the brand’s yeast strains — layered over light caramel and fresh mint.

The Palate

Light-to-medium body with red berry, honey, and soft baking spice; the high-rye mash bills come through as a gentle pepper note rather than sharp heat.

The Finish

Short and clean, closing on faint spice and floral fruit with minimal oak weight given the entry-level age and proof.

The Heritage

Four Roses was founded in 1888 and spent decades sold only overseas after Seagram’s redirected the domestic brand toward a lower-quality blend following Prohibition, a period that damaged its American reputation despite continued acclaim in Japan and Europe. The brand’s return to U.S. shelves in 2002 under new ownership, paired with its unusual ten-recipe production method, has made it a favorite among bourbon enthusiasts who track how individual recipes (labeled with codes like OBSV or OESK) drive flavor differences across the lineup.
