When I first visited the Four Roses Distillery, I was immediately captivated by the beautiful surroundings and the sense of history that permeated the air. The distillery itself exudes charm and authenticity, with its traditional architecture and picturesque setting.
One of the highlights of my visit was learning about the distillation process used by Four Roses. They employ a unique production method that sets them apart from many other bourbon distilleries. Four Roses uses a proprietary yeast strain, which contributes to the distinct flavors and aromas found in their bourbons. They also utilize single-story rack warehouses, which allow for more consistent temperature and aging conditions throughout the barrels.

It was fascinating to see the care and attention to detail that goes into crafting each batch of Four Roses Bourbon.
