SANTA ROSA, CA (March 30, 2026) – Foley Family Wines & Spirits (FFWS) has announced the release of Gambit No. 6, a revolutionary 6-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon that pushes the boundaries of traditional whiskey. Crafted by visionary Master Distiller Chip Tate, this release features six distinct barrel finishes: Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Apple Brandy, Muscatel, Oloroso Sherry, and Tokaji.
Following the success of the Ampersand Collection, Gambit No. 6 represents Tate’s calculated “chess move” in whiskey innovation. Utilizing FFWS’s vast access to luxury wine casks, Tate blended a complex profile that balances the vinous character of Sonoma Cabernet with the honeyed depth of Tokaji and the bright aromatics of Apple Brandy.
“The nuance of barrel finishing has piqued my interest since I started in the whiskey business more than 20 years ago, and access to these barrels opens a world of possibilities,” said Tate. “Gambit No. 6 is a testament to the depths of innovation, flavor, and craftsmanship we can achieve in whiskey making at Foley, building on more than 30 years of heritage as a family-owned, fine wine and luxury estates company.”
Bottled at 92-proof and non-chill filtered, Gambit No. 6 is now available for SRP $69.99 in select markets and online at www.gambit6.com.
