A Year of Innovation at Four Roses
Episode 1174
Sunday, 9 August, 2026

2026 is the year of innovation at Four Roses, which was sold earlier this year to E&J Gallo for more than $700 million dollars. The work actually started two years ago under Kirin's management, and Master Distiller Brent Elliott tells us Gallo is doubling down on the desire for innovation at Four Roses. For instance, the familiar ten recipes for Four Roses Bourbon have been expanded with the addition of two experimental recipes. Brent Elliott joins us to discuss the innovations on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, drastic cuts are coming at Diageo, which is also in trouble with food safety regulators in India over flavorings added to its Indian whiskies, and a third discrimination lawsuit has been filed against Bardstown Bourbon Company.
