Blackwater Juniper Cask Gin
This Juniper Cask Gin has rested in wood made from Juniper trees for at leaset 30 days before bottling. These juniper barrels were made especially for the distillery and, as junpier trees are relatively small, they can't be larger than 50 litres. The same botanicals used in Blackwater No. 5 are used in this gin, but in different proprtions. The sweeter roots like liquorice are increased so the gin isn’t overpowered by the astringent juniper wood. The result is a straw-coloured gin, complex and aromatic with plenty of character and a wonderful long finish.
