Four Gate Barrel Proof Batch 11 (Ruby Rye Springs) Straight Rye Whiskey

Ruby Rye Springs is Four Gate Whiskey Company's third release of their 7-year-old Straight Rye Whiskey from Indiana, following River Kelvin Rye (Batch 7) and Split Stave™ by Kelvin (Batch 10). This release highlights the citrus and spice notes of the base rye, enhanced by a 42-day finishing period in Ruby Port-Rum Casks. The barrels, originally used for aging ruby port from Portugal, then aged a molasses-sweetened rum blend at Virago Spirits in Richmond, VA. This process imparts a rich sweetness, complementing the bright red fruit of the port.
