Four Gate 7 Year Split Stave Kelvin Batch 27 750ml

Seven Years, Split Stave Finished, Batch 27

Four Gate Whiskey Company is one of the most respected independent bottlers in American whiskey, known for sourcing exceptional aged stocks and applying innovative finishing techniques. Batch 27 is a 7 year old straight rye whiskey finished using Kelvin Cooperage's proprietary Split Stave technique — a process that inserts custom-toasted oak staves directly into the barrel, dramatically accelerating flavor integration and adding layers of complexity unavailable through traditional aging alone.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich vanilla, toasted oak, cracked pepper, dried stone fruit, and a hint of caramelized sugar
• Palate: Bold and layered — rye spice, dark caramel, baking spice, and a deep oak character from the split stave finish
• Finish: Long and complex, with lingering pepper, vanilla, and a warm oak-driven close
