US bourbon brand, Four Roses has arrived in Australia, available exclusively through Vanguard Luxury Brands. An ‘American legend’, the Four Roses brand survived the prohibition era and two world wars.

Established in 1888 in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, Four Roses was one of just six distilleries in the US that was allowed to keep operating through prohibition for ‘medicinal’ purposes.

At the helm at Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg, is master distiller Brent Elliot, who formulates Four Roses’ 10 distinct Bourbon recipes.

The signature Four Roses Bourbon, the first expression to arrive in Australia, is a mellow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and a versatile option for crafting cocktails.

Four Roses Bourbon’s Australian launch represents a milestone in the brand’s ongoing global expansion, with Vanguard looking to bring other expressions in the coming years to Australia.

Four Roses Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is available via Vanguard Luxury Brands.
