One of a pair of cask-aged gins from the Glasgow Distilling Co. released in 2017. This particular expression was matured for 10 weeks in casks made of mulberry wood, imparting helpings of vanilla sweetness to the Scottish gin.
Earthy at first with waves of juniper, angelica and floral rosemary, before the sweet vanilla-y oak notes take shape.
I am not sure what to make of this. Quite a fruity flavour, something oriental like lychee. Very smooth and good with tonic. Just a wee hint of whisky about it.
Very enjoyable with a slight sweetness and an unusual golden colour. A fresh tasting gin, perfect with a splash of tonic water. I’ll definitely try others in the range. Thanks Glasgow!
