In 1884 Paul Jones Jr. moved his successful business to Louisville, Kentucky, where he opened an office in a section of historic Main Street called “Whiskey Row.” He trademarked the name Four Roses four years later, claiming production and sales back to the 1860s. In 1922, the Paul Jones Company purchased the Frankfort Distilling Company. Along with this purchase came the rights to sell Four Roses as a medical whiskey during Prohibition. Thus, making Four Roses one of the few bourbon brands to survive Prohibition.

Since the beginning Four Roses has been perfecting the art of quality and consistency and have used that guiding principle to develop their ten signature recipes. Made from the combination of two mash bills and five proprietary yeast strains, each has its own balance of spice, fruit and nuance.
