Overview
- Four Roses announced the Anthology annual series on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, and revealed Chapter One: Origin as a 21‑year‑old bourbon distilled from the OBSF recipe and bottled up to 124.9 proof.
- About 1,200 bottles of Chapter One will be sold at a suggested price of $500 with exclusive on-site availability at the Four Roses Visitor Center starting July 10 and at a Whiskey Row event in Louisville on July 11.
- Chapter One is the oldest age-stated release in Four Roses' history and consists of single barrels bottled at cask strength between 102.5 and 124.9 proof to preserve layered fruit, spice, and oak notes.
- The release is paired with an immersive pop-up on Louisville’s Whiskey Row and curated Visitor Center activations designed to create scarcity, direct engagement, and collectible appeal.
- The Anthology rollout builds on Four Roses’ production model of two mashbills and five proprietary yeast strains and signals strategic continuity under E. & J. Gallo with a likely focus on limited, high-end releases that drive secondary-market demand.
