Four Gate The Kelvin Collaboration V (Batch 28), 58.5%

Opulent from the first pour, this bourbon leaps out of the glass with pecan pie, barrel char, raisins, and fig cookies. The flavors are rich and dense, and despite the high proof, it balances its heat well. Waffles with maple syrup, milk chocolate, spicy and citric cola, and caramel apple flavors swirl. The finish is long, with pronounced chocolate notes and a drying hit of oak.
