Manly Spirits Co Whisky Barrel Aged Gin 700ML

What was once transparent, is now more complex thanks to the ageing process of Oak barrels. Two barrels, one an ex-Bourbon from Kentucky, the other an ex Tasmanian single malt Whisky have found a new life maturing our award-winning Australian Dry Gin.

Marrying the complex botanical recipe of our marine-inspired gin with the character and maturity of oak barrels. Finished with a splash of Manly Spirits 6-month maturing whisky (bourbon cask), this barrel-aged spirit brings the best of both worlds together in a SMOOTH, versatile spirit. Perfect as a sipping gin, with tonic or in a rich smokey cocktail.

HOW IS YOUR BARREL AGED GIN A CROSS BETWEEN A GIN AND A WHISKY?

Our barrel-aged Australian matured gin combines elements of both gin and whisky in both its creation and bottling process. After the whisky is created with our signature native botanicals, it’s placed into a sherry cask (traditionally used for ageing whisky). Here, it takes on a variety of whisky characteristics and flavours, allowing its subtleties to fully develop.

Finally, our unique Manly Spirits whisky is added during the bottling process, incorporating its own distinct flavours and enhancing the overall drinking experience.

HOW DO YOU RECOMMEND SERVING THE BARREL AGED GIN?

If you’re an avowed gin lover who revels in the world of complex botanicals and golden tasting notes, our Barrel Aged Gin can be enjoyed under the hot summer sun, sipping on a small measure over ice. Those who are less accustomed to our Australian matured gin’s rich, smooth and refreshing flavours will enjoy it when mixed with ice-cold tonic and garnished with thyme and lemon.

Alternatively, add a dash into a rich and smoky cocktail that’s infused with muddled bitters, herbs and spices like sage, rosemary and cinnamon. Whether you create an Oaked White Negroni, an Oaked Martinez or a Beach Buck, add another layer of flavour and complement the dried fruit that hits your mid-palate during tasting by garnishing your cocktail with a maraschino cherry or a zesty orange peel.
