Four Roses Distillery Announces Anthology Series
Four Roses Distillery has announced the launch of Anthology, a new series of limited releases that each tell a distinct chapter of the brand’s 138-year story.
The series begins with Chapter One: Origin, a 21 year old bourbon – the oldest release in Four Roses history – inspired by the brand’s founding story of love and connection.
Chapter One: Origin transports consumers back to 1888, when founder Paul Jones Jr. professed his love and intention to marry his Southern belle. She later accepted his proposal by arriving at a grand ball wearing a corsage of four red roses, inspiring Jones to name the distillery after the moment that would define the brand for generations to come.
Chapter One: Origin is crafted from Four Roses’ OBSF recipe and is bottled at up to 124.9 proof (62.45% ABV). It’s described as having aromas of “deep apricot mingled with vanilla and spiced mint.” The palate exhibits “creamy oak tones and deep flavors of ripe cherry, cacao, and rich honey.” It concludes in “a rich finish of antique oak and lingering rich fruit.”
Four Roses Anthology Chapter One: Origin is limited to approximately 1,200 bottles and will be available exclusively at the Four Roses Visitor Center beginning July 10 and at the Whiskey Row event on July 11 for a suggested retail price of $500.
