The Master Distiller and his team carefully evaluate each barrel, considering factors such as age, flavor characteristics, and overall quality. This hands-on approach ensures that only the finest barrels are chosen to create Four Roses Single Barrel.
Once a barrel is selected, it is bottled at a robust 100 proof (50% alcohol by volume) without any blending or dilution. This showcases the true essence of the bourbon, allowing its rich flavors and aromas to shine through. The result is a full-bodied and complex bourbon with layers of caramel, vanilla, and oak, complemented by a warm and lingering finish.
