No. 209 Gin Barrel Reserve Chardonnay 70cl

No. 209 Chardonnay Barrel Reserve Gin is the newest offering from Distillery No.209 which predominantly ages in used French oak Chardonnay barrels.  The gin rests for 3 to 4 months and is tasted frequently to track the progression of the spirit in barrel until Distillery No.209 feel it's ready for bottling.

No. 209 Chardonnay Barrel Reserve Gin initially shows a grassy nose followed by buttery-toffee and a hint of oak. The fist sip is subtly sweet and almost fruity, followed by a gin-inspired mid-palate with juniper, cardamom, orange and a hint of eucalyptus. Its finish is rich, long and lingering with a light tannin tang, the sweetness, toasted oak and a pronounced butterscotch note carrying on until the next sip.
