Tasting Notes

Nose

Vanilla and caramel-coated nut — herbaceous juniper, floral elements, the oak barrel's influence immediately evident, warm and inviting

Palate

Peanut brittle and fresh juniper — flamed orange peel brightness, vanilla pod sweetness from the oak, the eleven botanicals maintaining their identity through the barrel-resting, caramel warmth

Finish

Rich and smooth — slight warmth, vanilla and oak lingering, juniper providing a dry counterpoint to the barrel sweetness

Expert Review

7/10

A North Carolinan cask-aged gin from Southern Artisan Spirits — eleven botanicals rested in oak barrels, gaining vanilla, caramel, and a distinctive peanut brittle character. Flamed orange peel and vanilla pod join herbaceous juniper in a gin that bridges the gin-whiskey divide.
