BourbonBlog.com Tom Fischer interviews author and Four Rose Brand Ambassador Al Young about his new book Four Roses: The Return of a Whiskey Legend at the official Filson Society book launch event in Louisville, Kentucky. The book details the history and the people behind the long-time international bourbon brand that vanished from U.S. shelves for 40 years until its more recent resurgence.

This was my father’s favorite brand of whiskey as I remembered him drinking as I grew up.
Then he stopped drinking it……I was too young back then to understand what was wrong.
Now that 4R has returned to the US market, and we tasted some of the current 4R this October while doing the “Trail” , I now have 3 different 4R expressions to savor in memory of my Father. Yellow Label, Single Barrel, and 100th Anniversary 4R.
To my Father…….Long live 4R and Jim Rutledge
