Tasting Notes

Nose

Dried fruit and raisin — the Banyuls cask adding sweet, fortified wine character, chocolate notes emerging, Bathtub's cinnamon and orange underneath

Palate

Sweet and rich — the Banyuls wood contributing dried fruit and chocolate complexity, the gin's juniper and spice providing structure, a dessert gin that maintains botanical integrity through the long ageing

Finish

Dried fruit and chocolate lingering — sweet but structured, the spice from the gin preventing the Banyuls sweetness from dominating, contemplative

Expert Review

7/10

The second in Master of Malt's experimental cask series — Bathtub Gin rested for 19 months in ex-Banyuls casks from the French Pyrenees. Banyuls is a sweet, fortified wine from Roussillon, and its casks add dried fruit, chocolate, and raisin notes to the spiced gin base.
