Scotch whisky that's aged or finished in interesting casks is a beautiful thing, but why should whisky have all the fun - what about gin?
This ultra-small batch of Ableforth's famous Bathtub Gin is extra special: it was aged for 20 months in a PX-Oloroso Sherry hybrid cask that also previously held 23 year old Invergordon whisky for several months. A symphony of crisp dryness and indulgent sweet spice. Sip on its own or over ice.
Tasting notes:
Nose: Honey and heather with a breakfast-y zing of grapefruit and orange.
Taste: Subtle notes of dried cherry, rolled oats, and flapjack. Hints of chelsea bun and spiced gingerbread, before drier woody notes.
Finish: Buttery tarte aux cerise.
Overall: An incredibly complex gin; the time spent in the wood has certainly created a matrix of intricate flavour hits.
