    Four Roses

    What's so special about the Four Roses Ten Recipe Tasting Experience? Why is demand (and secondary pricing) for Four Roses Private Barrels so high? The history of the Four Roses brand and the distillery's unique present day approach to bourbon production offer clues.

For many years, Private Barrels of Four Roses (aka "Store Picks") were the only way to taste a single recipe on its own. Enthusiasts sought out these Private Barrels anywhere they could find them, hoping to collect all ten recipes. As demand for Private Barrels skyrocketed, Four Roses decided to give their fans a chance to taste all ten recipes side by side without requiring lengthy, painstaking hunting and collecting.
