Cask Aged Gin 4 Year Old 2017 Single Cask (Master of Malt)
Gin is grand, and so are casks, so it's always exciting when the two meet! This cask-aged gin was distilled in 2017, with a whole host of classic botanicals including the likes of coriander, angelica, orange, lemon, cinnamon, and liquorice. Next up, the gin was filled into a single ex-bourbon cask, where it remained for the following four years, under the watchful eyes of the gang right here at Master of Malt. In 2022, the time had come for the cask to be opened, and to release a total of 255 bottles for our Single Cask series.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Intense pine and juniper hit the nose while it's still being poured into the glass, with oily, almost malty spice. A touch of buttered popcorn joins, before huge helpings of fresh lemon peels, garden herbs, and lemon drizzle cake.
Palate
So soft, with creamy lemon posset and zesty sorbet. Bright notes of rosemary shine alongside dense juniper, coating the mouth with delicately woody, fragrant spice. A touch of earthen rootiness develops in the depths.
Finish
Orange peel and floral vanilla arrive towards the end with aromatic spices and distant incense. The gentlest prickle of peppery oak joins right at the finish, with resinous pine lingering.
