Our barrel-aged gins were inspired by an Old Tom style gin from America. There were flavours we had never seen in gin before – toasty oak with a softness on the palate. We sipped it neat. We tried it in cocktails. We wanted to make our own.
So first we aged a gin in Chardonnay barrels. And then we got our hands on some Sherry casks from Spain (plus some local casks), and have been ageing this Sherry Cask Gin since 2017 with even more fruit and nut characters.
Our take on the spicy, yet balanced Dark n’ Stormy with a Barrel Aged Gin twist. Sherry Cask Gin provides great body and flavour, combined with the sweetness of orange and the acidity of lemon and the aromatics of ginger beer and bitters – this drink is as refreshing as it is delicious.
