Episode 4 – Four Roses
The Bourbon Breakdown is back with a bottle built on romance, revival, and real flavor. Beau and Earl are diving into the legendary Four Roses Bourbon — and yes, the stories are just as smooth as the pour.
In this sip-worthy episode, we break down:
• The love story behind Four Roses and how the brand survived Prohibition, Seagram’s missteps, and made a legendary return
• Our in-person take on one of the best distillery tours in Kentucky — including a wild interactive bottle timeline you’ve gotta see to believe
• A Barrel Break Moment from a listener whose granddad made Four Roses the star of his holiday cards (vintage photo included — check our Instagram!)
• Flavor notes and food pairings that’ll elevate your next BBQ, dinner party, or cozy night in
• A brand-new segment: Where does Four Roses fit on your bourbon shelf — and how do Beau and Earl organize theirs?
• A deep dive listener question on bourbon terminology — from mash bills to bottled-in-bond, with a few personal missteps (and laughs) along the way
Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the bottle, this episode will leave you feeling informed, entertained, and ready for another pour. So grab your glass, hit the website, and settle in — we’re going beyond the bottle once again.
