Product details
In late 2023, Four Gate Whiskey Company quietly introduced a limited release of single barrels featuring cask-strength, unfinished 10-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon. These exclusive barrels were pre-sold to select distributors, making them a rare find for Four Gate enthusiasts and bourbon aficionados alike. Among the company's diverse offerings, this release stands out for its scarcity and the anticipation it has generated among whiskey lovers across the country.
The bourbon itself presents a rich and inviting aroma, with deep notes of dark caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak. Subtle hints of dried fruits like figs and dates intertwine with delicate spices, creating a complex and alluring bouquet. On the palate, it offers a robust, full-bodied experience, where flavors of caramel and toffee are enriched by layers of dark chocolate and roasted nuts. A prominent spice profile—featuring cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of black pepper—is balanced by a sweet, oaky undertone. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lasting impression with lingering notes of oak, caramel, and a hint of tobacco, as the spice from the palate continues to evolve.
