Introducing the inaugural chapter of an exceptional journey in American whiskey – the Four Roses Anthology Chapter 1: Origin, a rare 21-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon bottled at Barrel Strength for the 2026 release. This masterfully crafted bourbon is a celebration of legacy, passion, and craftsmanship from one of Kentucky’s most revered distilleries.

Distilled in 2001 and matured for over two decades in oak barrels, this limited-edition release is a tribute to the original vision of founder Paul Jones Jr., who named the brand after a romantic gesture involving four red roses. The “OESO” recipe used in this release is one of the most beloved in the Four Roses lineup, known for its rich fruit-forward flavor, delicate spice, and elegant complexity.

At 50% ABV (100 Proof) and bottled non-chill filtered to preserve its full flavor, this bourbon showcases the deep influence of time with a balance of sweet oak, ripe stone fruits, baking spices, and floral undertones. Hand-selected by Master Distiller Brent Elliott, each bottle reflects decades of aging and unparalleled commitment to quality.
