Four Gate Split Stave Rye Batch 27

Batch 27 is a new limited release of their much-acclaimed Split Stave™ by Kelvin line featuring special barrels coopered exclusively for Four Gate Whiskey Company by the historic Kelvin Cooperage in Louisville, KY.  These casks alternate between toasted and charred staves, imparting benefits of both double-oaking and toasting in the same finish. For this release, Four Gate Whiskey Company selected choice barrels of 7-year Indiana Straight Rye Whiskey with a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. Kelvin Cooperage then used French Oak staves rather than traditional white oak and the result is perhaps the most refreshing whiskey Four Gate has produced to date, according to Chief Blending Officer, Bill Straub.

 “It really came out as a spearmint bomb,” he said. “It’s light, sweet and is going to be a lot of folks’ go-to whiskey when the weather gets warm this summer.”
