Barrel-Aged GinGin which spends some time in barrels, generally not more than a few months at a time, although there is no legal definition for this style.
Tasting Notes
"The botanical bouquet still rings true on the nose with bright coriander and citrus notes as well as delicate floral aromas and gentle warm spices. Those notes carry-thru on the palate with the barrel aging adding a bit more of a prickly and a lightly tannic/grippy mouthfeel. Would say this is still more on the gin spectrum than a whisky one allowing for lots of gin cocktail opportunities. The light aging adds another flavoring aspect to the gin rather than muting them. "
