Distillery: Four Gate Whiskey Company

Four Gate Whiskey Company started releasing its small-batch expressions with innovative finishes in 2019, gaining much critical acclaim from the start. Batches 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 all received Whisky Advocate scores of 90 points or higher, and various well-regarded writers and online reviewers named batches 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10 amongst the top 10 American whiskeys of 2019 and 2020. Four Gate Whiskey Companys Release #11, Ruby Rye Springs, is a 7-year straight rye whiskey finished in ruby port-rum casks. Following batches 7 and 10, this is the third presentation of the same underlying rye whiskey made from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. This time, the Indiana-sourced straight rye was finished for forty-two days in ruby port-rum casks. The secondary casks were originally used to mature ruby port, a sweet and bright style of port wine, and after that they were used to age a blend of rums by Virago Spirits in Richmond, VA, imparting them with a lush molasses sweetness that pairs excellently with the bright red fruit of the ruby port. Only 1,444 bottles were produced at 113.4 proof. Grab your bottle today!
