About this whisky
  • Malt type: Bourbon
  • Region: USA

The Legend of the Four Roses is one of love and passion. The founder of the Four Roses distillery Paul Jones Jr. fell in love at first sight with a southern beauty and proposed to her, She in turn told him that if she were to say yes she would wear a corsage of roses to the upcoming grand ball. And so the legend says, she wore a corsage of four roses and in 1884 Paul Jones Jr. opened and trademarked the Four Roses distillery. This bottle of their 6 year old bourbon is nowhere near that old, although it is a rather handsome antique from the 1970s whose history shows in its old imperial measurement of ⅘ quarts, also known as a ‘fifth’.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturaly: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from auctions, ballots, and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
