Botanica Spiritvs Barrel Finished Gin
Product image may differ in appearance from the actual product.
Since the 10th century, distillates of juniper infused wine were produced by monks. Our barrel aged gin begins with a brandy base. We distill the brandy from northern California grape wines. The herbal structure complements the grape base. It is matured in new toasted French oak barrels for a minimum of 8 months. The 8 month old barrel is then blended with a small amount of younger barrels in a semi-solera style which adds depth. The result is a sublime cross between brandy and gin, with complex, yet balanced notes of juniper, vanilla, lemon verbena, and other hand-picked herbs.
