Hi-Spirits have launched three limited-edition Barrel Reserve gins in the UK, from San Francisco’s Distillery No. 209.
Barrel Reserve gin is made by aging it in French oak wine barrels that have been taken from the distillery’s sister business, the Rudd Oakville Estate winery in Napa Valley. The three new varieties include No. 209 Cabernet Sauvignon Barrel Reserve Gin, No. 209 Sauvignon Blanc Barrel Reserve Gin and No. 209 Chardonnay Barrel Reserve Gin, each gin taking on its own distinctive aroma and taste.
Dan Bolton, Managing Director of Hi-Spirits, said, “The combination of distilling and winemaking experience makes the No. 209 Barrel Reserve Gins unique, and the care and craft that have gone into barrel aging gives each of them a very special character”.
No. 209 Barrel Reserve Gin has a 46% ABV.
