Description: 2020 World Gin Awards – Best Matured Gin: Barrel aged gin has become increasingly popular with Corsair leading revival of this style of Gin. We distill in small batches using a vapor basket system instead of boiling/maceration common in other gins. A vapor system allows a truer flavor to come through because botanicals go through an extraction process rather than a cooking process. We then rest it in our used spiced rum barrels to impart vanilla, fall spice notes and wood to the finished product.
Classic gin forward nose evolves into a spice medley of cinnamon, clove and coriander. Anise, black licorice, clove hit the pallet initially but give way to vanilla and rum notes before a clean dry finish.
