Cutwater Old Grove Barrel Rested Gin

Cutwater Old Grove Barrel Rested Gin comes from Cutwater Spirits in San Diego, California, the distillery that grew out of Ballast Point's spirits program, where this recipe was born. It starts with Old Grove Gin, a London Dry-style small-batch gin distilled from neutral grain spirit with juniper, citrus peel and floral botanicals, then rests the finished gin for roughly 50 days in charred oak barrels, picking up color and sweetness without losing its botanical core. Bottled at 88 proof (44% ABV) in a 750ml bottle. Cutwater describes a nose of cinnamon, vanilla, juniper and light oak, an earthy, lightly smoky palate where the gin's juniper and pine sit under the barrel influence, and a warm, spiced finish. The Bartender Spirits Awards tasting panel found cardamom, clove and citrus aromatics, juniper and pine on the palate, and caramel and vanilla on the finish. It is built for drinkers who move between gin and whiskey: sip it neat, pour a barrel-aged Negroni or Martinez, or swap it into an Old Fashioned for a juniper-and-oak twist.
