Flavoured & Barrel-Aged Gin

The flavoured gin category is still going strong from our local AB distillers! It can be difficult to make sure that the flavours on the label translate into the final product while balancing what makes gin special for die-hard gin drinkers. For me, to be successful, flavoured gins need to maintain the advertised flavour integrity when mixed with tonic or soda water. However, one of my notes said, “make a negroni with this one”. It’s not a surprise that gin shelves in retail outlets have more flavoured gins than ever before. - Tara Smith
