ImaGINation Black Barn Syrah Barrel Aged Gin 200ml
No reviews
With the generous help of the Black Barn Vineyards winemaking team in Hawke's Bay, the makers chose some tightly grained and lightly toasted French oak barriques which were used in the production of their awesome Syrah.
Back in the distillery makers filled them with the highest quality triple distilled dry gin and let time and nature do it’s thing. The result is an exquisite gin with a vibrant fruit nose and a hint of toffee and cinnamon. The initial sweet spice on the palate gives way to a soft piney oak body and a lingering dry spice finish.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
