- Description
- Four Roses 6 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon from the 1970s is a vintage expression from the Louisville distillery, aged six years in new charred American oak barrels according to Four Roses' traditional bourbon specifications. As a product from this era, it represents Four Roses' historical house style—approachable yet complex, with characteristic floral notes, vanilla, caramel, and subtle spice. The 1970s vintage adds rarity and potential cellaring interest beyond its baseline bourbon character. This expression suits bourbon historians and collectors seeking examples of Four Roses' established profile from a previous distilling era.
