“We rarely let any of our Bourbon get this old, but we’ve held onto these barrels because they were maturing so slowly,” says Master Distiller Jim Rutledge.The Four Roses 100th Anniversary Limited Edition Single Barrel Bourbon was released in early April of 2010, just in time for the Kentucky Derby. Bottled at barrel strength and non-chill filtered, the distillery only produced about 2,300 bottles.“Every year our goal is to select the most special recipe aged to perfection,” says Rutledge. “A milestone anniversary deserves a milestone bourbon and we believe this release is one of a kind.”

Distillery Information
Four Roses Distillery is a special place with a special page in history. One of only six distilleries that were permitted to operate during Prohibition to produce medicinal Bourbon, it has an intriguing history. Sitting on the banks of the Salt River in the serene rural part of Kentucky, it saw ups and downs, until it was resurrected in 2002.
