Four Roses Bourbon 1L, 40%

Description

Four Roses Bourbon 1L, 40% is a smooth and approachable Kentucky straight bourbon presented in a generous one-litre format. Produced by Four Roses Distillery, this classic expression is bottled at 80 proof and matured for a minimum of five years.

The bourbon is created by carefully mingling the distillery’s ten individual whiskey recipes. Four Roses produces these recipes by combining two different mash bills with five proprietary yeast strains, allowing the final whiskey to bring together fruit, floral character, caramel, vanilla, rye spice and subtle herbal notes.

Its profile is light, balanced and versatile. Floral aromas, honey and gentle spice lead into crisp apple, pear and fresh-fruit flavours, followed by a smooth and pleasantly lingering finish. The accessible 40% strength makes it suitable for drinking neat, serving over ice or using in classic bourbon cocktails.

The larger 1L bottle provides more generous serving capacity than the standard 70cl edition while retaining the familiar Four Roses flavour and presentation. The one-litre, 40% version is also commercially available within European markets.

Why Choose Four Roses Bourbon 1L, 40%

This expression stands out because Four Roses uses two mash bills and five proprietary yeast strains to create ten separate bourbon recipes. Mingling these recipes gives the whiskey a balanced combination of orchard fruit, honey, floral aromas, vanilla sweetness and gentle rye spice.

For casual bourbon drinkers, it offers a soft and accessible introduction to Kentucky straight bourbon without sacrificing flavour. At 40% ABV, it remains easy to enjoy neat while also providing enough character for highballs, mixed drinks and traditional whiskey cocktails.

The 1L format offers additional value and serving capacity, making it particularly practical for home bars, hospitality use, entertaining guests or customers who regularly enjoy Four Roses Bourbon.

Ideal For.

This bottle is ideal for new and casual bourbon drinkers looking for a smooth Kentucky whiskey with floral aromas, honey, fresh fruit and gentle spice.

It is ideal for serving neat, over ice, with a mixer or in cocktails such as an Old Fashioned, Whiskey Sour, Kentucky Mule or Bourbon Highball.

It is also ideal for home bars, parties, hospitality settings and Four Roses enthusiasts who prefer the larger one-litre bottle format.

Collector’s Note

Four Roses Bourbon is a permanent core expression, so this one-litre edition is valued primarily for its larger format, recognisable presentation and importance within the Four Roses range rather than extreme rarity.

The bottle is a useful addition to a complete Four Roses collection because it represents the distillery’s introductory expression and showcases the combined influence of all ten bourbon recipes. It also provides an interesting size variation for collectors who already own the standard 70cl bottle.

Older label styles, export-market bottles and discontinued packaging variations may develop additional interest among dedicated Four Roses collectors. However, the standard 1L release is not individually numbered and no official limited production quantity has been announced.
