yep, have for 12 years. that's why they have that Four Roses Platinum that is only available in Japan
Much, Much more importantly: It's why WE have Four Roses Bourbon in the USA.
When it was owned by Seagram's until 2002 they didn't sell Four Roses Bourbon in America - we got their crap blended whiskey while Japan kept getting the good stuff. When it came up for sale Kirin bought it because it was so popular in Japan and Jim Rutledge begged them to sell the Bourbon here. The rest is history.
