Makar Oak Aged Gin, 43%

Introduction

Makar Oak Aged Gin represents Glasgow Distillery’s innovative approach to traditional Scottish gin production, combining classic juniper-forward gin with the depth and complexity gained through careful oak barrel aging.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Carefully selected botanicals including juniper berries, angelica root, licorice, cassia bark, black pepper, orange peel, and other traditional gin botanicals from premium sources
• Distillation process: Copper pot still distillation using the traditional Scottish method with a vapor infusion technique to extract the most delicate flavors
• Maturation: Aged in virgin oak casks which impart warm, spicy notes and a distinctive amber hue to the spirit
• Special techniques: Each batch is carefully monitored during the aging process to ensure perfect balance between the botanical flavors and oak influence

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Aromatic juniper leads with subtle vanilla, warm spice, and delicate hints of caramel derived from the oak
• Palate: Juniper remains prominent but is beautifully complemented by notes of cinnamon, clove, light caramel, and a touch of citrus zest with a silky mouthfeel
• Finish: Long, warming finish with lingering oak spice, vanilla sweetness, and a gentle reminder of the core juniper character

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: Chilled but not overly cold to allow the complex flavors to fully develop (8-12°C)
• Glass recommendation: Balloon gin glass or lowball tumbler to concentrate the aromas
• Serving ideas: Excellent neat or with a premium tonic water and a slice of orange peel to complement the oak-aged notes
• Food pairings: Pairs wonderfully with smoked salmon, artisanal cheeses, dark chocolate desserts, or spiced nuts
