Four Gate Saint Charente is a limited-edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that exemplifies the innovative approach of Four Gate Whiskey Company, based in Louisville, Kentucky. This 7-year-old bourbon is crafted from a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, and is finished in Cognac casks sourced from the Cognac region of France. The finishing process imparts unique characteristics to the bourbon, setting it apart from traditional offerings. Bottled at cask strength (119.2 proof) and non-chill filtered, Saint Charente delivers an unaltered and bold whiskey experience. The Cognac cask finishing adds a layer of complexity, influenced by the barrels that previously held grape-distilled spirits. The name “Saint Charente” pays homage to the River Charente, which flows through the heart of Cognac, and the region’s tradition of naming towns with “Saint.” With only 2,365 bottles produced, this batch is a rare find, distributed across select states and priced at approximately $200. Saint Charente is ideal for bourbon enthusiasts seeking a high-proof, expertly finished whiskey that showcases the artistry of secondary cask aging.
