Four Gate Whiskey Company’s Release #9, Andalusia Key, is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey finished in Oloroso Sherry and dark rum casks. This expression was made by blending 3 different Kentucky straight bourbons and aging them in dark rum casks from the Florida Keys, and blending two Kentucky straight bourbons and finishing them in Oloroso Sherry casks from the Andalusia region of Spain. The resulting whiskeys were then combined to create Andalusia Key, and bottled at cask strength of 121.2 proof. A very limited series of 1,309 bottles was produced.

Sweet fruits, fortified wine, molasses, and vanilla on the nose introduce the underlying bourbon and rum finish on the palate, with traditional rye-bourbon spice and dark burnt brown sugars on the periphery. The finish is medium-short, dry and sherry-forward, with a pepper spice that lingers a bit on the rear palate.
