Not content with the typical bourbon barrels almost exclusively used for cask-aged gin, the Blaum brothers have a wonderful collection of wooden vessels for tinkering the flavors of their spirits.

Batch number 2 features mostly ex-bourbon refills, but also incorporates a half-filled ex-Madeira barrel filled with their distillates of juniper, orange, and fennel.

Tasting Notes

"The color of this gin is on the lighter side of the spectrum of barrel-aged gins and has a blonde hue with light, golden highlights. The nose shows bits of the Madeira’s rich, oxidized caramel and baked orange flavors which add a lifted, floral character that reads quite fresh. Beyond all of this, there is still ample bourbon character with toasted flavors of oak and a touch of baked corn. Although overproof, the finish is clean and the Madeira cask’s sweetness helps incorporate the alcohol. Enjoy on its own as a contemplative gin."
