"If you don’t think you like gin, I challenge you to try our Barrel Finished Gin.  It’s gin with an attitude!  Not your average gin; she’s sassy and intriguing with an air of mystery.  Finished in oak for a few months gives time to mellow the profile and let all the flavors mingle.  The juniper levels are reduced but other botanicals are added, including cardamom, cinnamon, and fennel.  It’s a perfect gin for a spiced mule, an old fashioned, a hot cocoa, a spiced apple cider, and much more! Whether enjoyed hot or on ice, at home or from a flask, the Barrel Finished Gin might just become your new favorite!" 

Cheers,

Mallory, Marketing Director
