Move over shiraz gins and barrel aged gins, here is the new standard: Prohibition barrel aged gin! We have aged a 59% expression of our original gin in custom coopered barrels which formerly held American bourbon, then most recently Barossa Valley shiraz – recharred and now giving new life to our barrel aged gin. This overproof blush coloured spirit is soft and silky with a gentle shiraz note and rich oaked rye back-note. It’s punchy, yet still maintains the vanilla and floral notes which define Prohibition gins – perfect on ice, with soda or in your favourite cocktail!
