Fords Officers Reserve Overproof Gin / Barrel Aged

Benjamin Ross — Bold and oaked

8/10

Fords Officers Reserve at 54.5% is not for the faint-hearted. The barrel-aged overproof gin has intense oak influence with vanilla and spice, plus the concentrated juniper and botanicals of the base. Powerful stuff.

Kenji Watanabe — Military strength and oak

9/10

At 54.5% this barrel-aged Fords is a beast in the best way. The oak ageing adds warmth and sweetness while the overproof base delivers intense botanical concentration. Makes an extraordinary barrel-aged Negroni.

Oscar Delgado — Naval tradition meets oak

8/10

Officers Reserve at 54.5% nods to naval gin traditions with its overproof strength, while the barrel ageing adds a modern dimension. The combination of juniper and oak is rich and rewarding.
