The folks producing Lubuski over in Poland decided to whack some of their gin into a casks to create this Aged Gin expression! The gin rested in a combination of oak and chestnut casks before bottling at 42% ABV, with the casks adding some sweeter caramel notes to the juniper-forward spirit. Certainly a contender for a Gin Old Fashioned, or should make an interesting twist on a Negroni.
Notes of savoury herbs intertwine with resinous, piney juniper, balanced with citrus blossom, intense cinnamon spice and dusty oak.
Silky and herbaceous, with green oak pairing wonderfully with forest-y juniper notes, and a hint of citrus curd.
A wave of caramel sweetness floods in among more baking spice on the finish.

Tried this with Mediterranean tonic water and it was fantastic. Tried the tasting online with 3 others and they thought it was fantastic. Great with smoked salmon too. I will be buying a bottle.
This gin is a traditional Polish necking gin. There is no culture to it, but it does well for what it is and the price. I suggest eating chocolate before as it adds a really nice creaminess to the pallet. Don’t think it’s worthy of winning an award for best casked age though.
Got a sample of this in a gin tasting kit. I dont know who voted this best cask gin because i have never tasted something so vile. The taste genuinely offended me. Whoever this Chaps of Master of Malt is has some seriously weird taste buds because i got none of the above when this entered my mouth. I am still having nightmares about it now!
The taste of this gin is like no gin I have had before. It is harsh and to me tasted a bit like chemicals. It overpowered the mouth and left a terrible after taste.
