Expert Review

7/10

Aged in American oak, FEW's barrel gin straddles the line between gin and whiskey with confidence. It's woody, vanillin-rich, and built for brown spirit drinkers.

Luna Chavez

— The best aged gin going

10/10

FEW Barrel Gin at 46.5% is a revelation. The interplay of toasted oak vanillin with juniper resin and cassia spice creates something extraordinary. Grains of paradise add warmth without heat. The long finish with oak tannins, vanilla, and dry juniper is unforgettable. A benchmark for Barrel-Aged gin.

— Oak and juniper harmony

8/10

FEW have found a great balance between barrel ageing and gin botanicals. The toasted oak and vanilla custard on the nose are gorgeous, and the grains of paradise warmth adds genuine complexity at 46.5%.

— Warming winter sipper

8/10

This is perfect for cold evenings. The vanilla custard nose, the full-bodied palate with oak and caramel, the long warming finish. The grains of paradise add a lovely peppery edge.
