OK so not sure but we need someone to address the labeling. Four Gate is going to be releasing new batch a couple a year and they are going to be radically different each time. So this is the only named review that I feel comfortable reviewing this under, the other is just calling it four gate. This is a sherry rum finished bourbon. The batch 2 which I don't believe is released yet, but samples have gone out to a lot of whisky reviewers (and as a result I may have gotten a hint of what's to come)...well it's night and day different.
Nose - waxy red fruits, cane sugar, spicy over ripe fruit.
Taste - Oh man. Opens with heavy finishing. You get some sherry and some rum notes...berries, sugar cane, some yellow fruits and dark fruits. Then the whisky completely switches and it moves towards a very classic bourbon. I kinda feel like this reminds me of a bartons but I could be wrong. Peanuts, oak, vanilla and caramel from the bourbon. I'm getting citrus from the bourbon as well.
I hate to go there but 4.0. This is one of the best bourbons of the year for me. I wanted to hate it for the 11 years and 200 price but gosh it's good.
