From the outset, we promised you a barrel-aged gin. And we declared that it would take some time to make its appearance. We figured maybe three months, but it’s taken almost five!
We’ve already shared our Dry and Western Gins with you, each with distinct botancial blends. We could have used one of those tasty gins to age in the barrel. But we crafted yet another distinctive spirit, designed to embrace the toasted oak staves of bourbon barrels. (We even used the barrels that brought you our Preface Series Bourbon.)
A Note On The Color and the Flavor Profile
It’s light in color, but rich in flavor — just as we expected. Look for this slightly caramel colored spirit to yield cardamom and grains of paradise that fade to cinnamon and ginger. These flavors mellow to allspice and mild notes of caramel and toasted sugar … all complemented by a mouthful of spicy, sweet ginger, followed by peppercorn and cardamom. We told you it would tell a complex tale. Right! Thankfully, we let this Barrel-Aged Gin tell us when it was ready. Salud.
(Don’t forget, our Dry Gin has already been awarded by the ADI International Spirits Competition. We hope this Barrel-Aged Gin will join the awarded ranks, as well!)
