Four Roses Private Selection
Program running
Retailer only
Four Roses picks barrels mostly with licensed retailers and bars, not individual buyers. If you're not already a trade account, this one's a long shot. Worth double-checking the Mandy Vance email is still live before anyone reaches out.

|---|---|
| Rough cost | ConfirmingWe're verifying this directly. |
| Lead time | ConfirmingWe're verifying this directly. |
| Tasting | Either Four Roses ships samples to the retailer to taste on their own time, or you taste and select in person at the Cox's Creek private-selection facility, sometimes with Master Distiller Brent Elliott.1,2 |
| Who can buy | Mostly licensed retailers, bars, and restaurants. Four Roses' own sales team picks new clients, and liquor stores make up most of the roster. Private individuals get in occasionally, like a celebrity barrel sold through a charity drive, but that's the exception, not the standard path.1,2 |
