Bluecoat
Barrel-Finished Dry Gin

Category: Barrel Aged Gin

Date Tasted: 3/16/2023

Country: USA

Alcohol: 47%

Golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg, candied ginger and fresh ginger root, vanilla and anise, and dried lemon and juniper with a round, crisp, dryish medium body and a peppery, delightful, medium-long finish with notes of honey soaked juniper berries, cinnamon nutmeg, and ginger, candied citrus, cocoa powder, and baklava and dried honeysuckle. A very nice Gin that should play well in cocktails, especially due to the slightly elevated alcohol and barrel notes.

About

Barrel Aged Gin

Barrel-aged gin has become a trendy spirit produced by numerous artisan distillers in America. Actually they are bringing this tradition back as barrel-aged gin has been made on the Spanish island of Menorca for more than two hundred years, with white oak barrels being the preferred vessel.

The current barrel-aged gins made in America have a brown color, derived from the bourbon barrels in which it is matured. This technique gives these gins aromas of vanilla and caramel.

These gins are served either over ice or serve as the base of cocktails such as an Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
