Ageing spirits in oak is an ancient method for improving flavour. The charred interior of an oak barrel acts as a natural charcoal filter, creating a gentler spirit over time. The wood adds a bit of colour as well as an additional complexity to the flavour. The entire process is made even better when you reuse a cask that previously held another type of spirit. Whisky distillers have long known that ageing their spirit in used bourbon or sherry casks lends very specific characteristics to the final whisky. We've taken this ancient method and applied it to a batch of our gin to create an oak aged gin of wonderful character.
