Cutwater Barrel Rested Gin 750 ml

Cutwater Barrel Rested Gin is a barrel-aged gin from Cutwater Spirits in San Diego, built on a juniper-forward botanical base of coriander and angelica root before resting in American oak barrels for a period that softens the spirit and adds color. The oak time nudges it toward whiskey territory without losing the backbone of a classic gin. Expect a nose of juniper and vanilla, a palate carrying baking spice, light citrus and mellow oak, and a smooth, rounded finish. It suits gin drinkers who want something warmer and more autumnal than a standard London dry.

How to drink Cutwater Barrel Rested Gin

Its oak notes hold up best in a Negroni or an Old Fashioned built with gin instead of whiskey — a stirred, spirit-forward drink shows off the barrel time better than a highball would.
