Russell Henry Dark Aged Gin 6 / Case

Tasting Notes: Barrel aging gives Russell Henry Dark Gin an exotic character all around for better and for worse. Notes of peppermint roses citrus oil and evergreen notes provide plenty of perfume on the nose. On the body first there's an attack of pine and juniper followed by a surprising apple cider character. Vanilla and some marshmallow emerge but the finish brings out wood oil and some green slightly vegetal notes. The spirit offers lots of complexity but the balance just doesn't seem quite right as if the barrel has had its way with the relatively delicate nature of the unaged gin. 45.6% ABV
