Bathtub Gin - Cask-Aged, Navy-Strength 50cl
Bathtub Gin - Cask-Aged, Navy-Strength
A 'does-what-it-says-on-the-tin' release from Ableforth's. Epic concentration, huge nose, massive punch. The best gin EVER for a Last Word? We think so.
It's made with the excellent Bathtub Gin Navy-Strength as a base, which not only has a higher abv than the regular Bathtub Gin, but a larger botanic hit due to the fact that the botanicals get all 'bashed up' (technical term). For up to 6 months it's then aged in small 50 litre casks (about a fifth of the size of a normal hogshead), offering a greater surface area to volume ratio, that in turn leads to greater interaction between spirit and wood. Science.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Rich marmalade, earthy juniper, complex spices and vanilla. The time in the cask has brought the botanicals together, with added influence from the cask itself to produce a stunning, rounded gin.
Palate
Sensational mouthfeel with those Christmas spices coming through. Creamy, syrupy citrus integrates throughout with fragrant juniper still providing the core.
Finish
Extraordinarily long, deceptively smooth and richly spiced.
Overall
A truly unique top drawer gin for the world's best Last Words.
