The second release in our Cask Series, our Port Barrel-Aged Gin. The inspiration for creating this was fuelled by my love of port wine and to create a gin that would be great for the summer months ahead.
Our signature London Dry gin is aged for a secret length of time in freshly dumped ruby port casks from a winery in Portugal. These casks have aged ruby port for 8 years, taking on the fruity characteristics of the fortified wines. Each cask we lay down with gin is never the same & timing is crucial as to when it is ready. Too early and the flavour profile will be under developed. Too much time in the cask & the gin will be overpowered with tanins & bitterness from the oak. What goes in the cask at the start comes out at the end, we don’t dilute back. This is limited to a 200 bottle release.
Tasting Notes;
Nose: Sweet red fruits , vanilla & baked spices.
Palate: Dry juniper with jam & sweet red grapes
Finish: Subtle vanilla with baked spices. Creamy.
Signature Serve – Serve tall over ice with a classic Indian tonic water & garnish with fresh strawberries for a refreshing summery G&T. Sip neat to explore the complexity of this gin or make a Pink Negroni.
