Abingdon Gin – Port Barrel-Aged Gin 50cl

The second release in our Cask Series, our Port Cask Aged Gin. Our signature London Dry gin is aged for a secret length of time in freshly dumped ruby port casks from a winery in Portugal. These casks have aged ruby port for 8 years, taking on the fruity characteristics of the fortified wines. Each cask we lay down with gin is never the same & timing is crucial as to when it is ready. Too early and the flavour profile will be under developed. Too much time in the cask & the gin will be overpowered with tanins & bitterness from the oak. What goes in the cask at the start comes out at the end, we don’t dilute back. This is small batch craft gin production. 200 bottle release.
