DISTILLERY NOTES

Notes of classic Queensborough Gin botanicals meld with the unique flavours of VQA Niagara Sauvignon Blanc wine barrels. 6 months of barrel aging imparts tropical fruit character with subtle oak and vanilla characteristics, adding complexity and depth to the Double Gold medal winning Queensborough Gin. Enjoy on its own or as a brown spirit alternative in your favourite cocktail.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

Very unique barrel aged gin from Queensborough and Central City, one that is aged for 6 months in Niagara Sauvignon Blanc barrels. The Queensbourogh is very classical in profile but the introduction of that barrel resting makes it explode with tropical fruit like kiwi and passionfruit with hints of spicy vanilla oak just ties this together.

Alcohol - 43% / 86 proof

Color - Light golden wheat

Nose - Very classic Queensborough gin with bright citrus notes, hints of tropical fruit and aromatic juniper

Taste - Starts like the regular gin and then you get hit with the tropical notes, slightly spicy vanilla oak but those tropical notes really blow up

Finish - Spiced vanilla oak and tropical fruit just linger forever

Best Enjoyed - With Fever-tree Mediterranean Tonic
