CONNIPTION BARREL AGED GIN, North Carolina 750ml

That toasted oak really comes through, but the juniper and caraway keep it firmly a gin—complex without losing its identity. I’ve been sipping it neat and it’s dangerously smooth for 50% ABV.

The ten months in those bourbon barrels really shine through—the toasted oak is front and center, with the juniper and caraway playing a savory counterpoint underneath. It's a sipping gin, not a mixer, and it’s dangerously smooth on its own over a big ice cube.

The toasted oak from the bourbon barrel aging really comes through, giving this gin a warmth that's perfect for an old fashioned. I've been sipping it neat, and the caraway adds an unexpected but pleasant savory note. It's a bold spirit that stands out from standard gins.
