No.209GinBarrelReserveChardonnay70cl

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.
