Four Roses Announces Ultra-Aged Anthology Series
Lawrenceburg, Kentucky’s Four Roses Distillery has unveiled a new series and major foray into ultra-aged bourbon in Anthology. This new series begins with Chapter One: Origin, the oldest release in Four Roses history; a rare 21-year-old bourbon inspired by the brand’s founding story of love and connection. Chapter One: Origin transports consumers back to 1888, when founder Paul Jones Jr. professed his love and intention to marry his Southern belle. She later accepted his proposal by arriving at a grand ball wearing a corsage of four red roses, inspiring Jones to name the distillery after the moment that would define the brand for generations to come.
“This release represents more than age; it represents legacy,” said Brent Elliott, Master Distiller at Four Roses. “With Anthology, we wanted to create a series that allows us to tell the deeper stories behind Four Roses through rare and intentional releases. Chapter One: Origin pays tribute to the moment that inspired our name and the values of connection and passion that continue to define our brand today.”
Crafted from the OBSF recipe, known for its delicate herbal notes and rich fruit character, the 21-year-old bourbon was matured under careful stewardship, resulting in an exceptionally layered and elegant profile and bottled at up to 124.9 proof.
Chapter One: Origin will be available exclusively at the Four Roses Visitor Center in Lawrenceburg Kentucky beginning JFriday, July 10 for a suggested retail price of $500. Around 1,200 bottles will be released, underscoring the rarity and collectability of the inaugural chapter.
