Four Roses distillery wins World’s Best Single Barrel Bourbon at 2024 World Whiskies Awards.

Four Roses, the heritage Kentucky bourbon brand dating back to 1888, has received the high honors of World’s Best Single Barrel Bourbon, Best Kentucky Single Barrel Bourbon, and Best Kentucky Small Batch Bourbon at the 2024 World Whiskies Awards.

“We are deeply thrilled to be recognized with such prestigious accolades from the esteemed World Whiskies Awards,” says Brent Elliott, Master Distiller at Four Roses.

“These awards truly reflect our team’s unwavering dedication and passion to consistently making high-quality bourbons. Hand-selecting each barrel is a meticulous process, so to be highly awarded in both the Single Barrel and Small Batch Bourbon categories is an extraordinary honor.”

Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon Won Best Single Barrel Bourbon at the 2024 World Whiskies Awards

Results of the competition are determined by a distinguished panel of industry experts, leading journalists, and specialist drink retailers who evaluate entries through three rounds of blind tastings. Whiskeys that successfully navigate the initial two rounds of tasting are awarded “Best” within their respective categories. Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon and Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon were the sole winners from the first two rounds of their respective categories. Following a rigorous third round of tasting, the ultimate accolade of “World’s Best” is granted to one exceptional whiskey in each category.

Four Roses is unique in their approach to producing bourbon. Four Roses utilizes five proprietary yeast strains combined with two separate mashbills to create ten unique recipes, which provide the basis for variety and consistency in their bourbons. Its Single Barrel Bourbon is hand-selected by Elliott, one barrel at a time, to create a complex and full-bodied high rye bourbon. In addition to receiving the coveted titles of World’s Best Single Barrel and Best Kentucky Single Barrel, Four Roses Single Barrel also received a gold medal.

Another expression in Four Roses’ line up that is overseen by Elliott is the Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon. Elliott combines four distinct bourbon recipes that have been expertly selected at peak maturation to achieve balance, making the Small Batch Bourbon an excellent premium yet approachable bourbon to be served on the rocks or mixed with cocktails. In addition to receiving the title of Best Kentucky Small Batch Bourbon, Four Roses Small Batch also took home a gold medal.

Deep in the heart of West Hollywood, one of America’s most vibrant and exciting cities, lies Conca Del Sogno, an exclusive limited edition pop-up dining experience hosted by Norah Restaurant.

Conca Del Sogno, the elite beach club hailing from the world-renowned Amalfi Coast in Nerano, Italy, delivers its authentic Italian cuisine straight from the Mediterranean Sea.

Further inspired by the historical Amalfi Coast, is Malfy Gin, the star of the show. It unifies this unique taste bud adventure by marrying every flavor together. Offering a vast array of flavors, its versatile gin lineup includes four variants: Con Limone, Con Arancia, Gin Rosa and Originale. Each is distilled with a specialized blend of botanicals, such as hand-picked juniper, sun-ripened Italian lemons, pink grapefruits, oranges and blended with Italian water.

Upon arriving to the chef’s special five course presentation, we were greeted with impeccable customer service, along with the first of four well balanced and masterful Malfy Gin libations. All ingredients were specifically chosen to enhance each gin’s elegant list of botanicals. A few of the concoctions were presented in specialty Malfy Gin branded copa glasses, colored alluringly blue like the sea.

To open the festivities, we enjoyed The Ravello, consisting of Con Limone, Malfy’s lemon flavored gin, as well as prosecco, Lillet Blanc, and basil syrup. It paired stunningly with our first appetizer, Calamari e Zucchine Fritti. The squid and zucchini were fried to perfection with a lemon aioli sauce that was to die for. The Sgroppino also featured Malfy Con Limone, and exquisitely coincided with the following two courses. The Insalata Conca contained fresh tomatoes, olives, capers and shaved celery, all bursting with flavor.

The Tartare di Tonno was an exotic and very fresh take on tuna tartare, entailing green apple and basil. We were especially blown away by our main course, Spaghetti alla Nerano, accompanied by flavors of zucchini, basil, black pepper, and pecorino romano. We loved matching this with The Amalfi, a beautiful rendition of a Negroni, using Malfy Originale and blood orange. Lastly, their pink lemonade spritz featured Malfy Gin Rosa, a dazzling grapefruit flavored gin. It danced off the tongue and marvelously complemented the luscious Berry Panna Cotta dessert.

These carefully crafted Malfy Gin cocktail selections flawlessly reflect the vivacious spirit of the breathtaking Italian Coast. So instead of spending thousands of dollars to visit, let the Amalfi Coast come to you. This immaculate experience is outstanding and would be wonderful to share on a date or an enchanting evening out with friends.

Book your reservation now so you don’t miss this palate expanding rendezvous. This is the past, present, and future simultaneously. This is Malfy at Conca Del Sogno. See you there, if you dare…
