History Four Roses is a brand of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey produced in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Its Spanish Mission-style distillery was built in 1910 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Old Prentice Distillery. The company's warehouse for aging and bottling operations is in Cox's Creek, Kentucky. The brand and its products have evolved and transformed since the company's founding in the late 19th century, and especially since the firm's acquisition by the Kirin Brewery Company of Japan at the beginning of the 21st century.[2] Four Roses Bourbon Four Roses Bourbon Type Bourbon Whiskey Manufacturer Four Roses Distillery LLC (Kirin) Country of origin United States Introduced 1888 Alcohol by volume 40% Four Roses Bourbon 45% Small Batch 50% Single Barrel 52% Small Batch Select Proof (US) 80 Four Roses Bourbon 90 Small Batch 100 Single Barrel 104 Small Batch Select Website www.fourrosesbourbon.com Old Prentice Distillery U.S. National Register of Historic Places Four Roses distillery main building Four Roses is located in KentuckyFour Roses Show map of Kentucky Show map of the United States Show all Location Lawrenceburg, Kentucky Coordinates 375823N 845354W Built 1910 Architect Joseph & Joseph Architects Architectural style Spanish Mission revival NRHP reference No. 87000478[1] Added to NRHP March 19, 1987 History edit There are conflicting accounts of the brand's origin.[3] Four Roses owner Kirin Brewery names Paul Jones Jr. as the founder of the brand.[3][4] The company says the brand name was trademarked in 1888 by Jones, who claimed it had been produced and sold as early as the 1860s.[4] An alternative account has the brand founded by Rufus Mathewson Rose, speculating it was probably named in honor of himself, his brother Origen, and their two sons.[5] The company website makes no mention of anyone named Rose. The Four Roses distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, was built in 1910 with Spanish Mission-style architecture, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] It was originally called the Old Prentice distillery and was owned by J.T.S. Brown.[6] It was designed by Joseph & Joseph Architects, a firm with a history that has spanned more than a century in distillery design.[6] The Four Roses brand was purchased by Seagram distillers, a Canadian firm, in 1943. Around the end of the 1950s, Seagram discontinued its sale within the United States in order to focus on promoting its core product, blended whiskey although it introduced other brands of premium straight bourbons in the 1960s and 1970s, such as Benchmark and Eagle Rare.[7] A staid product in the US, Four Roses Kentucky straight bourbon's focus was shifted to Europe and Asia, which were rapidly growing markets at the time. In the United States during this period, the Four Roses name was used on a blended whiskey, made mostly of neutral grain spirits and commonly seen as a lower tier brand.[8][9] Four Roses continued to be unavailable as a straight bourbon in the US market until after 1995.[10] In 1999, Four Roses brand ownership passed from Seagram to Vivendi/Universal, then in 2001 to Pernod Ricard and Diageo before being purchased by The Kirin Brewery in 2002. Kirin discontinued the sale of blended whiskey to focus exclusively on Four Roses Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. The brand's master distiller during 19952015 was Jim Rutledge, who had started working for Seagram in 1966. The previous master distiller was Ova Haney. Since Rutledge's retirement in 2015, the master distiller has been Brent Elliott, who had worked with Rutledge for the preceding 10 years.[2] Elliot is originally from Owensboro, Kentucky, and has a degree in chemistry from the University of Kentucky.[11] In April 2019, the Four Roses distillery completed a $55 million expansion project that coincided with the launch of Small Batch Select the first permanent addition to the distillery's bourbon lineup in 12 years.[12][13] The distillery's expansion project began in 2015 and resulted in the ability to double production capacity.[12][14] The expansion project invested $34 million into the Four Roses distillery in Lawrenceburg, and $21 million at the Warehouse & Bottling facility in Cox's Creek. At the distillery, Four Roses added two new buildings and equipment, including a new column and doubler still and more fermenters. With the duplicate column and doubler still, production capacity is scheduled to increase from 4 million to 8 million proof gallons, enough to fill more than 130,000 barrels per year (261,000 hectolitres).[12] The Louisville-based architecture firm Joseph & Joseph designed the original distillery in 1910, and modeled the new buildings after the existing Spanish mission-style structures.
