I've allowed myself to purchase one $200+ bottle a year and the Four Gate Kelvin Collaboration series is the winner 6 years in a row. Haven't regretted it yet. 🥃

Beautiful texture. The rum really contributes. Boat loads of delicious dark fruit with a tremendously decadent, syrupy finish. So good.

So to recap: Kelvin 1: Sherry Rum 11 yr Kelvin 2: Cognac/Rum 12 yr Kelvin 3: PXSherry/Rum 9yr/12yr Kelvin 4: TawnyPort/Rum 9/8/7/6yr Kelvin 5: Sherry/Rum 9/8/7/6yr Kelvin 6: Madeira/Rum 9yr I loved 5. Interested in how 6 compares. 3 & 2 are still best they've done

The Kelvin Collab 6 is fantastic! I've been hooked on them since trying the 3 and the 6 imo is right up there with it as one of the best in the series.

Great review Jason. I just bought a bottle of Four Gate Kelvin VI a few weeks ago. It's my first FG and first time spending that much on a bottle. But I wanted to have a really special bottle for my birthday next month and other special occasions. Hope I like it.

Nice review. I picked this up a few weeks and love it. Have not had a bad Four Gate yet. Kelvin Sixty is my favorite. 🥃

Excited for this video cause I’ve got a bottle on the way. Have a previous one I love.

I have never had a Four Gate, tho I have a Foundation 10 year bourbon purchased 2 months ago that I hope to get to by Memorial Day. I had a pour of Willet 8 year wheat bourbon last September, but the bestest bourbon s I own are Stagg (Jr)

Nice review! I really enjoy Madeira finished pours! Never had a 4Gate but I might buy this one. I really enjoy my Art of the Spirit Madeira finished rye, Belle Meade Madeira, and the RY3 Madeira finished! Cheers!

When asked for my recommendation for first four gate bottle without a doubt I recommend the Kelvin Collaborations they are solid.

The Kelvin Collabs that we've tried have all been absolutely delicious. Thankfully, the $200ish pricepoint means they likely won't be flying off the shelf before we can grab one. The salty, nuttiness of madeira and the sweetness of the rum barrel will probably make this one a staple in our collection while it's available. thanks for the review, Jason!

I have two bottles of Batch 9 (Andalusia Key). Got them from a Class Six in Georgia for $150. I’ll open one of them one of these days :)

i have only tried 4 and 5 and i liked 4 more

The only Four Gate I have is the Barrels for Hope bottle, which is fantastic.

Thanks for the review Jason. I found one and pulled the trigger. I'll have to back off buying $50 bottles for a few months. LOL

Love the previous Kelvin Collaborations that I’ve tried.

Glad I bought the Kelvin VI when I got the chance; Stunning whiskey! Z Biotics work well for me. One of my best subscriptions, second only to The Mash and Drum! (I would appreciate an anniversary discount or bonus Z Biotic bottles once a year!?!)

I got a Copper and Cask rum/sherry/toasted finished for $65, was even in a pretty box

I am interested to know how this would stack up against the new Murray Hill club special release batch four which is at a similar price point. That batch four is fantastic.

That Collab VI is a hitter for me I like it alot great Review Fonzie 🤙🏽🥃

Kelvin series is the one to get if want to try Four Gate IMO. Thanks for review 🥃

Jason you made a Four Gate Colab review and ranked: 1 < 4< 5 < 2 < 3

Just ordered one. Great review, as usual bro

Kelvin II for me! Non Kelvin collab probably Ruby rye springs

I have a Four Gate I got on sale and it is very good. But nowadays, $200 for a bottle is a bit of a stretch.

I'm happy to compare sourced to the big boy brands. The question becomes did they add value? Exceptional blending? Crazy finishing? Here KILLER finishing. I'm a good bit higher on this one than you it seems.

I’ve only had the Collab V, which was decent, but I love their Andalusia Key bourbon. Unfortunately, their distribution doesn’t include my state, so I have to pay extra to order it online.

Would absolutely buy this bottle at msrp…shame I most likely will not find it like that.

Fourgate never misses. It’s for serious Burboners though.😊

I wish Four Gate and Old Carter were sold in New England. Only saw them in one store once last year and prices were secondary so that’s a hard pass. I is hard to justify normally $140 for a bourbon never mind $200 but a few are definitely worth it. Normally over $110 is Single Malt Scotch and Irish age statement territory

I see any and all Four Gate products gathering dust on shelves around me. They are a poster child of the bourbon bubble. It’s a very niche product for those who have excess funds, in my opinion. They very well might be good, but I can’t pay $200 yearly to find out.

Barrel Seagrass X 2 with enough left for a WT101

You can get this on their website right now

Barrell Bourbon does a few multiple barrel finishes

I’ve tried a couple and I have enjoyed them all but I’m not a fan of the price I think these should be like 100 to 120. Likely won’t be looking for this one

WHISKEY CHEERS 😎

BRBN Downunder is still my fav

Rum barrels from the Florida keys? So, Hemingway Distillery. Hell ya

How do Barrell’s finishes compare? That’s a $100 difference…

Four Gate excels at second maturation except for the Amburana. As you can imagine, that wood is too powerful and blinds the other flavors

Half the video is a live ad! Stop

$200 for a 9 yr. - no thanks.
