This batch is made up of barrels from two different production dates that were aged in six different locations within four rackhouses. The breakdown of barrel storage is as follows: 24% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse G, 22% came from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse H, 16% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse L, 24% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse L, 10% came from the 6th floor of 7-story warehouse L, 4% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse P. I selected “Granny's Batch” on a sunny, chilly January day and found the color to be a light chestnut with a beautiful sparkle as the sunlight shone through it. I thoroughly enjoy the nose of Granny's Batch with spice and hints of vanilla coming through. The taste fills your mouth with flavor and warmth that spreads across your palate, and it has a sweet, lingering finish. I am very proud to name this batch for my grandmother- and Dad's mom- who I know would have enjoyed her evening highball made with Granny's Batch of Booker's Bourbon.

An export-only bottle, Four Roses Super Premium is sold only in Japan. Consequently, the percentages in the mash bill and the flavor profile are different from what is available on the U.S. market. A well-balanced bourbon, it's intensely floral and sweeter than most bourbons. Bottled at 86 proof, the exact age statement is unknown. The nose is light and floral while the palate is packed with sweet notes of vanilla and spicy oak. Despite its pleasantly lower proof, this is a bold and delicious bourbon with a pleasant finish.
