We had a wonderful experience at Four Roses! We were with a large group of 10. Ethan was a great tour guide who seemed to have a great knowledge of the chemistry involved in bourbon making! read more

This is a fun and beautiful distillery! I've been twice now, 10 years apart, and they have done SO MUCH work on the property. The tour was great, even though we had terrible weather with a big storm coming through. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly and answered all of my questions without hesitation. The tasting room is super nice and there is plenty of space for a big group so you aren't crowded. I loved that they teach you about the different mashbills and how to tell which is which on their bottles. They have a lot of great items in the gift shop - I bought my dad a shirt and also got one for myself, along with a little baby snifter. Come check it out, you'll be glad that you did! read more

We had a group of six for the legacy tour, and we all had a fabulous time! Our tour guide, Morgan, gave a thorough overview of the distillery and was an absolute pleasure. She was also more than happy to answer questions. The grounds are well cared for and we got to explore several "behind-the-scenes" areas. We got to sample four bourbons during the tasting portion at the end of our tour. Overall this was an excellent experience, and I would highly recommend this stop on the bourbon trail. read more

Four Roses was another stop we were excited to check off our Bourbon Trail list, and it did not disappoint. We arrived a bit early and decided to pop into a nearby coffee shop instead of waiting in the car. When we came back at our scheduled time, we walked into a gorgeous, impressive venue. The gift shop was large, inviting, and full of great merchandise. After checking in and getting our tickets for the Taste of History experience, we browsed around while waiting for our tasting to begin. My wife and our travel companions even found a few "must-have" items to take home. When it was time, we were led into the tasting room--spacious, beautifully designed, and perfectly matching the style of the gift shop. We sampled four different bourbon expressions while our excellent host guided us through the history and flavor profiles of each one. Like many tastings I've attended, choosing a favorite was nearly impossible--they were all unique and delicious. By the end, we walked out with a couple of new bottles and plenty of conversation about which pours we loved most. A great stop on the trail and well worth the visit! read more

I looooove the Spanish-inspired architecture since it's so unique for the area! Walking was reasonable and not tiring. The refreshing cocktail (strawberry lemonade?) they provided for the tour was delicious! It was provided in a reusable customized cup, intentionally looking like a solo cup with a sippy-cup lid. *A couple people "dribbled" when trying to sip, though. Cute souvenir! We were provided with a headset to listen to the tour guide as she wore a headset and gave the tour. She recited the script and was gorgeous but the presentation lacked personality. The tasting was fine, but wasn't anything special, imo. Except I love the souvenir glass - that was unique! And it the host even suggested using the bottom as a cookie stamp and I actually do want to try it! read more

My friends and I chose to do the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky for our annual get-together, and Four Roses was our final stop of the trip--and it did not disappoint. The grounds were beautifully maintained, creating a great first impression. The tour was very informative, and the tasting was superb. I'm really glad we had the chance to visit and see how one of my favorite bourbons is made. A perfect way to end our Bourbon Trail experience. read more

We have been to the Louisville area many times and never made it to Four Roses. Located in Lawrenceburg,this is a first class operation. We signed up for their 30 minute tasting and overview experience and it was fantastic. As soon as you enter you check in and are given tickets. It is advised you arrive at least 15 minutes prior . You can walk around and look at some of their displays,shop in their gift store or have a drink at their Bar 1888.. Drinks are allowed on the tours. We each ordered a drink..old fashion and a mint julip since it was Derby week. It came with a souvenir glass but it was pricey. After the tour and tasting (4),we shopped a little bit and enjoyed our drinks on the outside patio overlooking the distillery grounds A fantastic way to spend an afternoon in Kentucky. read more

Loved visiting Four Roses Distillery. Driving onto the property I felt like we were on a Southern Plantation. The rolling hills & green grass made me want to sit & relax in the rocking chairs on the big front porch! This was our 1st tour of 3 last Wednesday. Our guide was clear & very knowledgeable. Appreciated the headsets! & our Bourbon sampling was so good too! Loved the gift shop & bought a bottle of Single Barrel and can't wait to open it! (Even bought the large rose ice cube tray! Had to have those!!! ) We had always talked about visiting Kentucky on our way 'Up North' from Phoenix; this year it was going to work! So glad it finally did ! Learned about the various ratios of ingredients and saw the 'yeast' room & got a free facial! Haha! Great job Four Roses!! read more

In all honesty-this was the 5th (and final) distillery that we visited and once you've seen some of the others, Four Roses may feel like a let-down. First- what I really disliked about it you might love. You tour with headphones and a receiver to hear the tour guide. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, but touring the distillery in this way felt oddly isolating. You aren't commenting with your tour companions- wow! or look at that! -you are in your own headphone focused world and I really disliked it. Of our 5 participants only 1 person said they actually liked the headphone tour. The other thing I really didn't like is that they don't do any barreling onsite- so there's no dimly lit cobwebby barrel room to stand in and take in. That's not their fault- it's just a reality and a bummer for a visitor. The gift shop bottles were priced higher than what we can buy product at home- so that's also a bummer. At $22 per person for the Legacy Tour this is one you could skip. Definitely prioritize Maker's Mark and Buffalo Trace before this one. read more

Our first time here so we pre-booked the History tour and tasting which we really enjoyed. Gwen was so informative and funny. The decor was elegant and the atmosphere relaxed for sipping on a cocktail both inside the bar or outside catching a breeze on the porch. read more

Wonderful tasting at Four Roses Distillery after KBF! Got to sample the 2024 limited at the bar. They had from 2019-2025, but we were able to pick up a couple signed bottlesby Brent Elliot at the festival. After the tasting experience I can say I have a new found openness to the FR entry bottle which is aged 6-7yrs, but could have much older juice. I've converted to Four Roses from BT. read more

I had a wonderful experience here as I caught the last tasting tour of the day and was the only one! The tasting included four of their bourbons and a tour of one of their rick houses. It was about 40 minutes or so overall. I learned a great deal about four roses and thoroughly enjoyed all four bourbons. I'm not sure if I ever had four roses before but I am certainly a fan now. I'll be adding them to my bourbon collection. read more

A positive experience. The Welcome Center is huge and very well decorated with a nice Gift Shop. The whole campus is a lovely Spanish motif. We took a tour of the facilities and the guide was very informative. She was a wealth of information! The tastings afterwards were well explained in a very nice tasting room. They also have a great chart explaining the nuances of their various bourbons. Unlike most other distilleries, they offered oyster crackers and water to cleanse the pallet. An eye dropper for water was also provided to open up the bourbon after first tasting w/out the water before drinking it with a few drops of water to taste the difference. Great touches. Finally, a distillery that did not have a restaurant, but provided cheese and pretzels, and cheese and cold cut meats for purchase . These distilleries are far apart and rarely have any restaurants/food to purchase nearby. We found ourselves hungry at a couple of distilleries with no availability of food. This is a wonderful touch! The other distilleries should take note. My only suggestion would be that the bar offer tastings for a fixed price as opposed to having to buy a full glass of bourbon without being able to sample just one type. read more

Morgan provided an excellent tour for our group! We enjoyed learning the details of the bourbon process and were pleased to sample 4 very different bourbons. The tasting included a dropper for reverse osmosis water which could be added to the samples which remarkably altered the flavor of the bourbon! We also enjoyed the Spanish architecture in the middle of Kentucky! After the tour, we were allowed to keep a glass with the Four Roses logo. We were fortunate to visit on 12/18/25 which coincided with a special Holiday event where the Master Distiller was available to answer questions and even sign our bourbon purchase. Extremely pleasant and knowledgable staff for our entire visit. read more

Four Roses was one of the top Bourbon tours for me in August 2024. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. Fairly priced tour loaded with information. I reserved the Sip n Stroll tour for $22. It comes with a beverage while you stroll the grounds, of course. Lol! The cup was cute. Drink was strawberry lemonade with a little bourbon. It was delicious. We were provided headphones to wear during the tour to hear our guide. This was a great ideal. It was a decent sized group. We walked the grounds and learned the history of Four Roses. I know where the name came from now. Do you? Cute story. We ended with a tasting. Our guide did an amazing job explaining how to tell what we were tasting. I went in with a small batch being my fav. I left in love with the single barrel... and a bottle. We did get to keep the glass water glasses. Very nice with roses emblem on the bottom of the glasses. Two nice reusable cups. Definitely stop at Four Roses! I would go again. Worth the money. Amazing experience! read more

Bar Review Only! Stopped by Four Roses to see the grounds, gift shop, and tasting room. There is a Spanish feel to the distillery, visitor center was elegantly designed, and bar offered both cocktails and neat spirits to try. Our experience at the bar was a bit disappointing. The bartender was not overly friendly and didn't allude too much in her answers to questions we had. We ended up ordering the Single Barrel Private Selection & Small Batch Select on the rocks as well as the Chocolate Old Fashioned. All drinks were filled with normal ice cubes over the traditional old fashioned cubes. They also stated they were out of garnishes for the specialty drinks. The Select tastings were ok. Overall, the experience didn't go above and beyond for hospitality purposes. Great if you are passing by but I wouldn't go out of my way to venture back. read more

May favorite distillery tour on the bourbon trail! Beautiful facility that isn't overhyped or touristy like the one with the buffalo lol. Four Roses truly understands their craft and caters to bourbon purists. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of four roses and the nuances of bourbon. I really appreciated the advanced level of the presentation that did more than focus on basic elements of distilling. The gift shop also had 9 of the 10 recipe single barrel, barrel strength master distiller selection bottles. I was completely blown away to see all of those hard to find bottles for sale in the same room. . No other distillery on the bourbon trail had anything close to that! read more

We only did a tasting here, but the location is absolutely stunning. It is off the beaten path in a very quiet area. You're able to sample four with just the tasting and you get a guided facilitation with a history of the company. Their new visitor center also has a bar area where you can try additional versions of their bourbon at a cost as well as cocktails made with their bourbons. They also had bourbon strawberry lemonade popsicles, but we're out of them when we were there. They have a large gift shop as well, so you can find just about anything to represent the brand read more

You're only allowed two drinks per person, spent almost $100 for the tour, which is crazy the facility lacked in comparison with other distilleries in the area.

We stopped here to increase our knowledge of bourbon distilling. Overall, the tour was very nice. Our tour guide did a wonderful job, even though they were shut down for their summer break. The sip and stroll tour started off with a short video and a nice cooling adult beverage on. One of the things we learned was they do not have a water source, but rather use reverse osmosis for their water. The other thing we learned is they do not do kegging, aging, or bottling at this facility. read more
