🌹 Japan’s Secret Bourbon: 1997 Four Roses Super Premium Review Discover the "Golden Export" that Americans couldn't buy! 🥃 While Four Roses was off US shelves in the 90s, they were crafting this Super Premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon exclusively for Japan. Bottled at the Kirin-Seagram facility in Gotemba, this 1997 vintage is a masterclass in elegance. Housed in a stunning embossed bottle designed to look like high-end crystal, it features a sophisticated blend of Four Roses' famous E and B mash bills and V & K yeast strains. Despite the approachable 86 proof, this pour is bursting with dark caramel, nutmeg, and delicate baking spices. Is it worth the $300 price tag?
