Boulder Spirits Ginskey Gin

Handcrafted in Boulder, Colorado, by Vapor Distillery (Boulder Spirits), Ginskey Barrel Aged Gin is a bridge between the worlds of botanical gin and aged American whiskey. Distilled from malted barley in traditional Scottish copper pot stills, this unique spirit is rested for a minimum of two years in new charred American oak barrels, imparting rich bourbon-like complexity, warm vanilla, and toasted oak undertones to its traditional botanical core.

Food Pairing: Barbecue ribs, smoked brisket, sharp aged Cheddar, blue cheese, duck breast with berry reduction, or dark chocolate desserts.

Tasting Notes: Rich amber copper in appearance with a full-bodied, velvety, and smooth mouthfeel reminiscent of a light whiskey.

Nose: Robust aromas of toasted oak, vanilla bean, butterscotch, and sweet malt lead the bouquet, balanced by fragrant orange peel, floral chamomile, and a soft piney juniper backbone.

Palate: Richly layered and complex, opening with sweet caramel, vanilla, and warm oak spice before revealing crisp juniper berries, orange oil, coriander, and subtle herbal nuances.

Finish: Long, warm, and lingering with notes of charred wood tannins, baking spices, dried citrus peel, and gentle oak sweetness.

Serve: Serve neat, over a large ice sphere, or substituted for bourbon or rye in classic spirit-forward cocktails such as an Old Fashioned, Martinez, or Boulevardier.
