Frequently Asked Questions
What does Pour For The Roses bourbon taste like?
Pour For The Roses offers a balanced profile with honeyed oak and vanilla on the nose, followed by rich caramel and cherry flavors on the palate. The nine-year aging process develops complex layers of spice and sweetness, finishing with oak tannins and subtle floral notes that echo the rose theme.
Is this bourbon good for cocktails or best neat?
While excellent neat or with a splash of water to open up the single barrel character, this bourbon's 90 proof and complex flavor profile also works beautifully in classic cocktails like Old Fashioneds or Manhattans. The single barrel nature means each bottle offers unique tasting opportunities.
What makes Larrikin Bourbon Company special?

This veteran-owned distillery focuses on single barrel selections and hand-bottling, ensuring quality and character in every release.
How should I store this single barrel bourbon?
Store your Pour For The Roses bourbon upright in a cool, dark place away from temperature fluctuations. Single barrel bourbons can be more sensitive to storage conditions, so consistent temperature and protection from direct sunlight will preserve the unique characteristics of your specific barrel selection.
Is Pour For The Roses worth the price for a 9-year bourbon?
This bourbon offers excellent value as a nine-year, single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon from a veteran-owned distillery. The combination of age, single barrel selection, hand-bottling, and distinctive packaging provides both drinking enjoyment and collectible appeal for bourbon enthusiasts.
