Sharing the juicy production goss with head Brewer and Distiller Aimee
The journey to our upcoming Gin style Muscat Liquor release has been nothing short of exciting!
It all started when we decided to take our Classic Dry Gin to the next level. We laid it to rest in lightly charred 22L Bench Bandit Barrels, each one carefully seasoned with the rich, luxurious Muscat wine from our good friends at Pfeiffer’s in Rutherglen. As the long, hot days of summer rolled through, the barrels began to breathe, drawing in the air and interacting with the gin in ways we couldn’t have imagined. This intense exchange accelerated the aging process, deepening the flavours and enhancing the contact between the Muscat and gin, transforming it into something truly unique.
After just 2.5 months, we noticed something incredible – the swift aging had softened some of the gin’s bright citrus and floral notes, rounding out its profile. But we weren’t done yet! To bring back a touch of the gin’s lively character, Aimee worked her magic, carefully refreshing one of the barrels with a splash of our Classic Dry Gin. The result? A perfect balance of smooth, rich flavours with that signature burst of freshness.
Now, let’s talk taste. Picture warm, golden scones fresh from the oven, rich with the sweetness of golden raisins, all served up with a dollop of citrusy juniper butter. That’s the magic we’ve captured in every drop of our Muscat Gin.
We can’t wait for you to taste it, but stay tuned – this exciting release is almost here!
