Unique blend of four excellent Bourbons.

Four Roses Distillery is a special place with a special page in history. One of only six distilleries that were permitted to operate during Prohibition to produce medicinal Bourbon, it has an intriguing history. Sitting on the banks of the Salt River in the serene rural part of Kentucky, it saw ups and downs, until it was resurrected in 2002. Today, the Lawrenceburg distillery creates top-notch Bourbons, each with its special twist.

Small Batch Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey is one of the special ones. Four Roses has two different mash bills and five different yeast strains, which creates ten unique recipes. Four of those recipes are blended to make Small Batch, a unique and perfectly balanced Bourbon. Each Bourbon is aged for at least four years, hand-selected and blended. The rich spicy flavors come from high rye content of two of the Bourbons, while the other two bring lighter fruity flavors. Four Roses Small Batch won 21 awards, including two gold medals at San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The best way to enjoy this amber beauty is neat or on the rocks.

Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
Bourbon matures quicker than Scotch due to higher temperatures in American warehouses.
Four Roses is the only distillery we are aware of that uses single level storage rick-houses to age their core Whiskey. They do this because they believe that variations in temperature, pressure, and humidity within multi-story warehouses makes for inconsistent Bourbon.
Bourbon only needs to be placed in a new oak container for a few seconds to be called Bourbon. Fresh from the still and unaged Bourbon is called a White Dog. Recently, many of the larger distillers have started packaging this harsh, clear grain spirit for sale.

Pinhook’s high-proof Bourbon won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the Straight Rye Whiskey won Double Gold the following year. In 2021, their Bourbon War Vertical Series 5 Year and the 2021 Flagship Bourbon won a Gold Medal each, with a Double Gold going to their Tiz Rye Time Vertical Series 5 Year. Pinhook is evidently doing something right!

Straight Bourbon must be matured for at least 2 years. If a bottle has no age statement, it’s at least 4 years old.
