The Kentucky-based Four Roses Distillery launched its new marketing campaign titled Meet Me With Four Roses. This venture positions the brand at the center of meaningful shared moments. Whether it is lively holiday gatherings or quiet evenings at home, the company celebrates the rare pauses when people connect deeply with those who matter most.
Meet Me With Four Roses unfolds through seasonal chapters tied to cultural occasions. The campaign begins in Four Roses Distillery's home state with Manhattan Week and a partnership with "Carpano Antica Formula, the iconic Italian super-premium sweet vermouth." This venture features participating bars and restaurants serving the Unmistakable Manhattan cocktail.
To sweeten the deal, Four Roses Distillery is also running the Meet Me in Manhattan sweepstakes, through which individuals can win a trip to New York City's Manhattan borough.
