Four Gate Tennessee Foundation Batch 8 Bourbon Whiskey

Four Gate is a whiskey company from Louisville, Kentucky that specializes in sourced whiskey blends. The company blends the highest quality whiskey available to create new, unique, and exciting batches of barrel-finished craft American whiskey. They work closely with the barrel experts at the family-owned, Louisville-based Kelvin Cooperage to find new and innovative ways for barrel finishing their releases. Four Gate was founded in 2018 by Bill Straub, who is the company’s Chief Blending Officer, and Bob D’Antoni, the Chief Barrel Officer. While Straub has leveraged his knowledge of bourbon and the industry as founder and Editor-In-Chief of ModernThirst.com, D’Antoni is a successful local entrepreneur who has used his connections to establish relationships to get his hands on some terrific bourbon.

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 Company’s Release #8, Tennessee Foundation, is a 10-year-old unfinished Tennessee straight bourbon whiskey. This is the company’s third expression bottled without finishing, following two unfinished Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey batches, dubbed "Foundation," presented in late 2019 and in early 2020. For Batch #8, Straub and D’Antoni, selected and blended five barrels of 10-year-old Tennessee straight bourbon with a mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% malted barley, bottling it at 112.2 proof. With only 812 bottles produced, this is a very limited edition even for Four Gate.
