Corsair Barrel Aged Gin｜ Other Products

Corsair aged its gin in spiced rum barrels, which tells you everything about the distillery's "Innovate or Die" philosophy. First released in January 2010 from the Nashville operation that was the city's first legal craft distillery since Prohibition, Barrel Aged Gin starts with Corsair's vapor-basket-distilled gin recipe with the juniper content turned up, then rests it for around six months in charred American oak barrels that previously held the distillery's own spiced rum — a choice The Gin Is In called rather unique among aged gins. Bottled at 46% ABV, and named among the six best barrel-aged gins by bartenders in Food & Wine. Difford's found a hazy golden amber pour with orange zest, pine sap, spruce forest, coriander, and clove on the nose alongside vanilla, leather, and nutmeg, then a palate of spicy mince pies and mulled wine — traditional juniper gin laced with clove, lavender, vanilla, leathery oak, and cracked black pepper — finishing on clove, pepper, and lingering sultanas: Christmasy, and very Corsair. The Gin Is In found juniper hitting up front and in the finish with a lemon-orange acidic tenor, spicy tang, and an underlying nutty note like spiced candied walnuts coming from the wood. Distiller reviewers note the juniper is punchier here than in the unaged gin, with the barrel acting almost like another botanical. Built for a gin Old Fashioned, a Martinez, or a hot toddy in December. Nashville's most inventive gin, aged in its own rum.Buy Corsair Barrel Aged Gin online with fast shipping right to your door.
