This was my third Virtual Distillery Tour (VDT#3) and the first where I have also been to the distillery, and my notes from that show I really enjoyed that trip. https://www.somanywhiskies.com/distilleries/item/329-four-roses-kentucky-usa. An interesting twist is that they do not store or bottle Four Roses at the distillery, this is done at a facility in Cox’s Creek Kentucky, but as this was a virtual tour I was able to see some pictures of the unusual (for Kentucky) single storey warehouses and short video 20 second video clip of the bottling line.
At the end of the day this is not a very interesting “virtual tour”. It is in reality a website blog entry with some pictures, text and “fun facts” and you simply scrolled through like any website or blog entry, obviously put together quickly while the site was closed for visitors during the COVID crisis (and that’s OK). The fun facts were consistent with the key messages on the physical tour, emphasizing the focus Four Roses has on different yeast and mash bills and their high Rye content recipes and some geeky insights into the distillation process that were missing from the previous two virtual tours.
You should continue to drink their excellent products and if you get a chance visit in person, but from a “technology” perspective this VDT was not up to standard of Hacienda Patron or Sipsmith.
