In the heart of Lawrenceburg, where limestone-filtered water meets charred American oak, Larrikin Bourbon Company's Pour For The Roses emerges as a nine-year testament to patience and artistry. This single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, bottled at 90 proof, carries the distinctive character of each individual barrel, ensuring no two bottles share the exact same story. Born from the vision of an Australian-born US Navy Combat Veteran, Larrikin Bourbon Company operates under a refreshingly simple philosophy: "We like it, we bottle it." This bourbon reflects that honest approach, combining traditional Kentucky craftsmanship with the bold spirit of adventure that defines the Larrikin name. Each bottle is hand-bottled in small batches, bearing rose and unicorn themed artwork that celebrates both strength and beauty.
