Tasting Notes
Nose
Pleasant with oak warmth — vanilla hints and gentle smoke
Palate
Rich and balanced with vanilla, raisins, stonefruit from the oak — still recognisably gin with subtle hints of vanilla, pine and sandalwood, warm spices with smoky overlay
Finish
Lingering oak warmth with vanilla persistence
Expert Review
7/10Aged Scottish whisky barrels broken into oak chips and placed in the still's botanical basket — vanilla, raisins, stonefruit, and sandalwood without actually ageing the gin. Cleverly innovative.
