Description
The company hasgiven you whiskey finished in the used cooperage. The company has given you whiskey that isnt finished at all. So fortheir 4th release,they wanted the barrel experts at Kelvin Cooperage to show off their skills with new cooperate and create something unique and innovative. They delivered.
After crafting a series of medium toast casks, then a series of #2 char casks, and finally the third series of #4 char casks, William Hornaday and his team at Kelvin broke all the barrels apart and rebuilt them, alternating between toasted staves and #2 char staves on some barrels, and toasted and #4 char staves on others, they have created the first-ever Split Stave barrels.
To fill them,they blended a 5.5-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon and a 12-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon and let them rest in our Split Stave barrels for five months. A totalof2,700 bottles from this inaugural release of Split Stave by Kelvin were produced. It is uncut and unfiltered at 115.6 proof.
