Four Roses Super Premium

The Four Roses Super Premium release is one of the most refined and elegant expressions in the Four Roses lineup — a Japan-exclusive bourbon crafted with extraordinary smoothness and floral depth. Known for its layered aroma and beautifully balanced palate, the Four Roses Super Premium has earned a reputation among collectors for being one of the most mellow yet complex bourbons you can find. If you want a bottle that showcases the softer, more delicate side of Kentucky whiskey, this is the one.

Unlike the typical Four Roses Small Batch or Single Barrel releases available in the U.S., the Four Roses Super Premium is blended using several carefully selected recipes from the distillery’s famous 10-recipe system. The result is a bourbon that drinks silky and luxurious, with hints of pear, honey, light oak, vanilla custard, and soft spice. It’s incredibly easy to sip, yet full of character — an ideal choice for enthusiasts who appreciate nuance over heat.

Many collectors chase the Four Roses Super Premium Bourbon because it highlights the brand’s mastery of blending, which has made their Japanese releases some of the most respected in the world. This bottling delivers elegance without sacrificing depth, making it perfect for both casual sipping and special-occasion pours. Whether you’re expanding your international whiskey collection or simply want a bourbon that feels beautifully crafted, the Four Roses Super Premium is a standout.
