四玫瑰(Four Roses)是个浪漫的名字,这背后也有个非常美丽的爱情故事:酒厂创始人保罗•琼斯(Paul Jones)还是个穷小子时爱上了一个美丽的南方姑娘,而这位姑娘以胸口佩戴 4 朵玫瑰的方式答应了琼斯的求婚。后来琼斯在1888年创立威士忌酒厂时,便以四玫瑰命名。
四玫瑰曾是美国威士忌的领导品牌。在 20 世纪 40 年之后,几经转手,它走过品牌衰落期,直到 2000 年左右日本日本麒麟啤酒公司(Kirin Brewing Company)将其收购,它才又回到了美国最畅销的波本威士忌之列。
小批量原桶波本(Small BatchBarrel Strength Bourbon)是四玫瑰的系列产品之一,装瓶时酒精度为 45% ABV,口感比较甜美。
