Hans Reisetbauer took his handcrafted, small-batch Blue Gin and aged it for 5 years in Austrian oak casks, resulting in a barrel-aged London Dry-style gin with round sweetness, complex mouthfeel, and a flavor reminiscent of spiced eggnog. Distilled from 100% organic, estate-grown Mulan winter wheat and triple-distilled in a Christian Carl copper pot still, with 27 botanicals sourced from 14 countries — featuring juniper, lemon peel, orange peel, angelica root, coriander seed, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, licorice root, and hops — incorporated via maceration between the second and third distillation, and proofed down with Upper Austrian spring water.
Tasting Notes: A medley of baking spice notes presents green cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg on the nose; the palate is bold and equally confectionary, with spicy juniper, white pepper, orange peel, and vanilla. Though higher in proof than Reisetbauer Blue Gin, the oak aging tempers the extra bite — as enjoyable to sip as it is to mix.
ABV: 52% (104 Proof)
