BarSol
BarSol pisco is produced from fresh wines fermented from pisco grapes from the Southern Valley of Ica. BarSol adheres to the classic pisco pot distillation method practiced in Peru since the 1500’s. Crafted in small batches and estate bottled, BarSol is distilled to bottle proof and neither water nor other ingredients are added to the sole grape juice that is fermented into a perfect wine before it is distilled, thereby creating an exceptional spirit of exquisite purity, clarity and smoothness.

Four Roses
It all started with a marriage proposal and a corsage of four roses dating back to 1888 where in 1884 Paul Jones Jr. moved his successful bourbon business to Louisville’s “Whiskey Row” and trademarked the brand four years later, which was one of the few bourbon brands to survive Prohibition by being sold as medical whiskey. The guiding principle of quality led the distillery to perfect ten signature recipes, crafted from a combination of two mash bills and five proprietary yeast strains.
