Product description
Archipelago Barrel Reserve Gin is a more complex and mature version of a gin inspired by the richness of Filipino vegetation. Here, the classic juniper base blends with local botanicals, and the woody notes lend the composition additional depth, softness, and a subtly spicy character.
Fresh aroma juniper and citrus fruits intertwine with herbal, floral, and spicy notes. The influence of the barrel adds subtle vanilla, warm woody notes, and a light sweetness, creating an interesting contrast with the gin's fresher side.
It has a full-bodied and complex flavor. Citrus fruits, herbs, and spices gradually give way to vanilla, subtly toasty notes, and oak. The 45% alcohol content ensures the right intensity, allowing both the botanical notes and the oak influence to remain clearly defined.
Archipelago Barrel Reserve is a great choice on its own or with a large ice cube, but it can also serve as an interesting base for classic cocktails, such as the Negroni or the Old Fashioned, in a gin-based version.
