About this bottle
Cooperstown Distillery's Lafite Barrel Aged Gin — sold under the French Traders line — starts as a 100% wheat gin distilled by hot vapor extraction, then goes into used bourbon barrels for a rest that pulls it toward whiskey territory. The barrel time adds a light amber color and rounds off the juniper-forward gin base with vanilla and oak notes usually reserved for brown spirits. It's an unusual middle ground: still recognizably gin on the front end, but with a warmth and depth on the back end that a standard London Dry doesn't have. Bottled at 90 proof, it has enough weight to stand up to barrel character without turning muddy. Worth trying for gin drinkers curious about barrel aging.
How to drink Cooperstown Lafite Barrel Aged Gin
Try it neat first, the way you would a young whiskey, to catch the barrel character before mixing it in. In cocktails, it makes an unusually good Negroni or Old Fashioned swap where you want gin's juniper with some oak weight behind it.
