Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon

Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon shines when sipped neat or with a splash of water to open up its complex flavors, but it also holds its own in spirit-forward cocktails like Old Fashioneds or Manhattans. This robust bourbon is perfect for cool autumn evenings, pairing beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled steak, barbecue, or rich, nutty desserts.
