Four Gate Split Stave By Kelvin Flagship 2023 Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

Double Gold Winner at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2024

Four Gate Whiskey Company has never shied away from the fact that we source the very best barrels of whiskey available on the market. Because we source rather than distill our own, managing a consistent flavor profile of our base whiskey has been difficult. For the first time, however, we are proud to announce we have secured enough whiskey to produce a flagship bourbon for the foreseeable future.

Introducing Split Stave™ by Kelvin, our Flagship product!

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Vanilla, toasted marshmallow, black pepper, oak.

Taste: Oak, crème bruleé, sweet vanilla, light custard, floral hints and baking spices

Finish: Medium-long, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, and spicy black pepper.

"A straight bourbon that was finished in barrels made with alternating charred and toasted staves. There's plenty of wood char and pencil shavings on the nose, along with dry leaves, pine needles, tea leaves, orange peel, clove, nutmeg, cedar, sandalwood, menthol, and licorice. It's chewy and, naturally, quite oak-forward in the mouth, with complex flavors of spice, dark cherry, black tea, and herbs—mint, licorice, sassafras, and cinnamon. More spice, semi-sweet chocolate, tea leaves, and well-integrated oak into the finish." - Susannah Skiver Barton, Whisky Advocate (91 Points)
