Good but Lost Some Gin Identity
The barrel ageing at 44% adds lovely oak character but at the expense of some gin identity. The juniper is still there but buried under vanilla and caramel. More of a spirit than a gin at times.

Barrel-Aged Brilliance
Zuidam's barrel-aged expression at 44% is extraordinary. The oak maturation adds vanilla, caramel, and toffee notes to the juniper backbone. It's like gin and whisky had a beautiful child.
