Tasting Notes

Nose

Caramelised honeyed thyme — vanilla, juniper, coriander, rosehip tea, florals of lavender and angelica, oak wood depth from the barrel

Palate

Vanilla and oak spice — caramel and butterscotch sweetness from the whiskey barrel, juniper and pine still present underneath, the 13 botanicals maintaining their identity through the barrel-ageing

Finish

Oak warmth and vanilla — butterscotch fading, juniper reasserting, the barrel and the botanicals in perfect conversation, long and complex

Expert Review

8/10

Best Wood-Aged Gin of the Year 2023 — Chicago's first distillery since Prohibition ages their 13-botanical organic gin in Koval's own charred whiskey barrels. Certified organic, kosher, and woman-owned. Six months in barrel adding butterscotch and vanilla while preserving the botanical character.
