A Whiskey so good it was proclaimed legal during the prohibition

Paul Jones Junior was a man of the future, a guy with a smart mind and a lucky hand, a brave-hearted hero who made Prohibition a more bearable period for his fellow men. Our story starts in 1888, when he moved to Louisville, Kentucky, to start the dreamy Four Roses Whiskey brand, introducing an average Kentucky Joe to a delicious treat, improving their lives instantly. But the biggest achievement of his life came later: in 1922, he purchased the Frankfort Distilling Company, which gained him the right to sell Four Roses as a medicinal Whiskey. And that, dear reader, as you have probably already guessed, meant this godly Spirit could be sold even during Prohibition, shining some much-needed light on the dark dark days of the Period We Shall Not Mention Again.

If twelve juries across the country think Four Roses Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is one spectacular Whiskey worthy of an award, who are we to disagree? This is your everyday Whiskey that you can’t go wrong with a Paper Plane cocktail, a Bourbon Sour, or simply in a glass with some ice. Made by following one of the 10 original recipes - as every Four Rose expression - this gorgeous Spirit was aged for a minimum of 5 years before being bottled at 90 proof.

Straight Bourbon must be matured for at least 2 years. If a bottle has no age statement, it’s at least 4 years old.
Bourbons are very high in vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
Bourbon matures quicker than Scotch due to higher temperatures in American warehouses.

J.B.'s father, Joseph W. Dant, invented a still made from a poplar log at 16, as he couldn't afford a copper still. Although crude, it worked exceptionally well!

"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.

Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."

Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.
