Four Roses Super Premium (often called "Four Roses Platinum") is an international-exclusive Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey created specifically for the Japanese market. While many export-only releases conform to a standard 700ml size, this specific premium bottling is traditionally distributed in 750ml bottles featuring a distinct, high-end design with an embossed metal rose emblem.
Key Specifications & Production
- Origin & Bottling: Distilled and aged at the historic Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. The mature bourbon is shipped in bulk to Japan, where it is bottled and distributed under the direction of Kirin Brewing Company.
- Proof & ABV: Bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV). This proof was historically selected to align with the preferences of premium Scotch drinkers in Japan.
- The Blend: While it carries No Age Statement (NAS), industry reports and brand history indicate it is a blend of mature barrels—rumored to be roughly 80% aged at least 8 years and 20% aged 10 years or older.
Profile & Flavor Notes
The Super Premium expression is deliberately crafted to favor an elegant, easy-drinking, and low-heat profile suited to traditional Japanese palates.
- Nose: Highly aromatic, light, and floral. Prominent notes of green apple, pear, honeydew, vanilla cream, and soft baking spices like clove.
- Palate: Silky and medium-bodied with a creamy viscosity. It features sweet caramel drizzle, vanilla custard, rose petals, and very gentle oak.
- Finish: Clean, short to medium, with a soft drying oak, leather, and lingering honey sweetness
