BC Spirits "Spirit a Day" #166 - Stillhead Distillery Barrel Aged Gin

DISTILLERY NOTES

Our signature international platinum award winning London Dry Gin has been barrel aged for one year in a bourbon barrel. The aging process has changed the flavour profile giving it mulled notes of holiday spices. The oak barrel has brought out the nostalgic tastes of cloves, star anise, cinnamon, and added a hint of vanilla.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

This barrel aged gin from Stillhead Distillery is the epitome of what I talk about when it comes to barrel aged gins, do they add to the flavor of the gin or compliment it. This one has subtle fresh oak and spicy vanilla notes that I think works beautifully with the botanicals and alcohol content. Really complex gin

Alcohol - 43% / 86 proof

Color - Very light golden yellow

Nose - Subtle christmas spice with hints of oak vanillin

Taste - Sweet juniper with balanced vanilla on the front with cloves, star anise and cinnamon in the back

Finish - Balanced citrusy juniper with clean, not overly pronounced oak

Best Enjoyed - Gin & Tonic with Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic
