Four Gate Whiskey Company Kelvin Sixty 8 Year Old Barrel Proof Straight Kentucky Whiskey (750ml)

A special release from Four Gate to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Kelvin Cooperage. The business started in Glasgow, Scotland in 1963 and is now based in Louisville, Kentucky, operating a full-service cooperage supplying new and used barrels to wine, spirits, and beer producers around the world.  Since Four Gate started in 2018, Kelvin Cooperage has been instrumental in providing advice, guidance and expertly crafted and sourced barrels of all kinds. To celebrate the collaboration, Four Gate selected eight year old whiskeys (reportedly from Four Roses) with a mash bill of 75% corn, 20% rye, and 5% malted barley, then re-barrelled them in new toasted and charred casks. The resulting double-oaked Bourbon is described as a "Show stopper" and"...a beast of a whiskey. The proof and oaky profile aren’t for the faint of heart...": The label features the logos of both Four Gate Whiskey Company and Kelvin Cooperage. To our knowledge, Four Roses don't do finishes, so if it is from that distillery, it's sure to be a compelling sipper for enthusiasts, with added appeal for collectors alike. 2,340 bottles were produced at 125.6 proof.
