Four Gate Split Stave By Kelvin (RYE)

Four Gate Whiskey is releasing its 10th batch of whiskey and returning to its innovative Split Stave™ casks designed and produced exclusively for Four Gate Whiskey Company by Kelvin Cooperage.

These casks are built by Kelvin by constructing a series of medium-toasted casks and a series of #2 char casks. The barrels were broken down before use and reassembled into Split Stave™ casks with alternating toasted and charred staves. The result combines the marshmallow and crème Brulee sweetness of toasted barrels with the smoky oak of a double-barrel.
