Cask Aged Gin

”Very strong recommendation. After over seven years with Hven's corn whiskey, Gotland's Gin Factory has taken this initially charred bourbon barrel from Missouri and allowed their gin concentrate to spend time in it before bottling. The result is 'spot on'. The classic gin character with elements like juniper, citrus, and anise with set herbs is the backbone, but it's then layered with a slightly fudgy vanilla streak, more pure licorice saltiness, and hints of violet, peach, coconut, and apricot, which enhances this gin's diversity without losing its gin sharpness. The alcohol volume is well-set too, paving the way for a robust and classy G&T. But it also invites enjoyment served straight – and without the martini – ice-cold in a martini glass, or as the base in a classic cocktail, and as a cool digestif in a wide whiskey glass. Good in any form.”
