View All (7)The juniper cask ageing creates a gin of extraordinary character. Cedar-like wood notes, intensified resinous juniper, lingonberry sweetness, and that satisfying tannic dryness on the finish. At 47% it's wonderfully rich.
13 March 2026Ageing in juniper wood casks gives this gin extraordinary juniper depth — resinous, cedar-like, and intensely aromatic. The lingonberry fruitiness adds a gorgeous sweetness. At 47% ABV with rich viscous mouthfeel, it's utterly compelling.
12 March 2026The juniper cask influence is profound — you get the botanical juniper plus woody, resinous notes from the cask. Black pepper adds heat, lingonberry brings sweetness, and at 47% the viscous mouthfeel is superb.
