Four Roses Super Premium Bourbon Whiskey

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 43% ABV (86 Proof) | 8–10 Year Bourbon Blend | Japan-Exclusive Release

Discover a more refined side of Kentucky bourbon with Four Roses Super Premium Bourbon, a highly sought-after international expression originally created for the Japanese market.

Crafted at the historic Four Roses Distillery in Kentucky, this distinctive release blends bourbons aged between 8 and 10 years to achieve an exceptionally smooth, elegant, and balanced profile. Bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof), Four Roses Super Premium emphasizes soft fruit, caramel, vanilla, honey, and gentle oak rather than the heavier spice and intensity found in many traditional bourbon expressions.

Originally available exclusively in Japan, this bottle has become increasingly desirable among Four Roses collectors, bourbon enthusiasts, and drinkers searching for rare international whiskey releases.

A Refined Four Roses Bourbon Created for Japan

Four Roses is celebrated for its ability to create remarkably balanced bourbon through careful blending and maturation.

The Super Premium Bourbon expression was designed with a softer and more polished style, combining mature bourbons aged approximately 8 to 10 years to bring forward delicate fruit, floral sweetness, vanilla, caramel, and restrained oak.

The result is a bourbon that feels mature without becoming overly woody — smooth enough for newcomers to appreciate while still offering the depth and rarity sought by serious Four Roses enthusiasts.

Why Collectors Seek Four Roses Super Premium

International-market whiskey releases often offer enthusiasts an opportunity to experience a familiar distillery from a completely different perspective.

Four Roses Super Premium stands apart from the brand’s standard U.S. lineup with its Japan-market heritage and unusually smooth, fruit-driven character.

For collectors building a selection of rare Four Roses bourbon, Japanese-market American whiskey, or harder-to-find international releases, Super Premium offers both an interesting drinking experience and a distinctive addition to the shelf.

How to Enjoy Four Roses Super Premium Bourbon

For the best appreciation of its delicate fruit and vanilla character, enjoy Four Roses Super Premium neat in a whiskey tasting glass.

A small splash of water can open additional layers of pear, melon, vanilla, caramel, and gentle oak.

Its polished profile also works exceptionally well in premium whiskey cocktails such as a Whiskey Sour, Old Fashioned, or Boulevardier, where the bourbon’s fruit and sweetness can remain expressive without overwhelming the drink.
