Barrel-Aged Gin, 'Reserve', Neversink

• Barrel-aged American dry gin distilled from 100% New York-grown apples by Neversink Spirits in Elmsford, New York • 11 botanicals include juniper, coriander, star anise, cardamom, angelica root, orris root, lemon peel, orange peel, grapefruit peel, cassia bark, and elderflower • Juniper is macerated in apple distillate overnight prior to distillation; the remaining botanicals are vapor infused during distillation • Distilled in a hybrid pot and column still • Aged for 6–9 months in 60-gallon French oak barrels which previously held Neversink’s Apple Apéritif • Aromas of juniper and elderflower join a medley of baking spices—cinnamon, star anise cardamom–on the nose; the palate is equally delightful, displaying plenty of cardamom, rose, and coriander with earthy angelica root and cedar over faint candied red apple and white pepper • NY Farm Distillery License eligible • Non-chill filtered; 45% ABV A barrel-aged version of Neversink’s flagship gin, the 100% apple base provides a lush texture and aromatic canvas which is perfectly complemented by a deft balance of botanicals. The oak influence provides baking spice and a whisper of Neversink’s pommeau-style Apple Aperitif—perfect for cold-weather cocktail applications!
