Distillery No. 209 Chardonnay-Barrel Reserve Gin
Barrel-Aged Gin — California, USA
Reviewed April 11, 2019This is a very unique gin, first time I tried it was a bad experience. fresh of the bottle it has a smell and taste of chardonnay that went bad. several weeks after opening the bottle, I tried it a 2nd time but I let it sit for a few minutes on ice before trying it. the result improved quite a bit but still a far cry for what you should expect on a $45 gin -
I had a chance to sample this whisky and found it to be an excellent splurge at the $160 price point. there are several flavor notes that I got with every sip: vanilla, caramel. it tastes more like liquid dessert than actual whisky to me, and while the finish is short, it kept me wanting to try one more sip.

Bluecoat Barrel Finished Gin
Barrel-Aged Gin — Pennsylvania, USA
Reviewed March 25, 2019 (edited May 20, 2020)great (different) gin. great sipping, wood notes. you can easily taste the oak barrel aging on this gin. while I dont think a G&T is a good cocktail for this gin, a negroni on the other hand is definitely a good way to enjoy this gin29.0 USD per Bottle
