Firkin Gin American Oak, 46%

Introduction

Firkin Gin American Oak represents a modern innovation in traditional gin production, uniquely distinguished by its maturation process in American oak barrels that imparts remarkable depth and character.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Premium botanicals including juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, and other carefully selected ingredients sourced from trusted suppliers.
• Distillation process: Small-batch copper pot distillation that ensures optimal extraction of botanical flavors and maintains purity of the spirit.
• Maturation: Rested in virgin American oak barrels, allowing the gin to absorb vanilla, caramel, and spice notes while softening the botanical profile.
• Special techniques: Utilizes a unique oak-aging process rarely found in gin production, creating a bridge between traditional gin and aged spirits.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Bright juniper and citrus open the aromatic profile, followed by warm vanilla, subtle caramel, and spicy oak notes.
• Palate: Balanced juniper and botanical flavors meld with oak-derived sweetness, presenting hints of vanilla, butterscotch, and baking spices with a silky texture.
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering spice, gentle oak tannins, and a pleasant botanical complexity that slowly fades.
