No. 209 Dry Gin Barrel Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Barrel Finish 750ml

No. 209 Dry Gin Barrel Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Barrel Finish takes No. 209's base gin and rests it in used Cabernet Sauvignon wine barrels, a technique the San Francisco distillery has built a reputation on, sourcing barrels from Napa Valley wineries. The wine barrel imparts a light blush color and a layer of red fruit and tannin over the gin's juniper and botanical backbone, without erasing what makes it a gin in the first place. It's a barrel-finished gin built for drinkers who want something more layered than a standard London Dry, especially neat or with minimal mixing.

How to drink No. 209 Cabernet Barrel Reserve Gin

Sip it neat or on a single rock to let the wine-barrel character show — this one's built to be tasted, not buried in tonic. If you do want it mixed, keep it simple: a gin and soda with an orange twist lets the Cabernet notes come through.
