Unit 43 Oak Wooded Gin 750ml

Unit 43 Oak Wooded Gin is an artisanal craft gin produced by Unit 43 Distilling Co. in Epping, Cape Town, South Africa. Distilled in a custom copper pot still using 100% organic botanicals, this expression is rested with French oak wood chips. The process infuses the crisp gin foundation with delicate oak warmth, vanilla, and subtle smoky complexity while preserving its bold, pine-forward African botanical core.

Food Pairing: Charcuterie with smoked meats, aged gouda, grilled pork belly, venison carpaccio, and rich dark chocolate desserts.

Tasting Notes: Warm golden-amber in appearance with a smooth, full-bodied, and rounded mouthfeel.

Nose: Prominent aromas of toasted French oak, sweet vanilla, and caramel interwoven with bold piney juniper, fynbos herbs, and subtle orange zest.

Palate: Rich and complex, displaying layers of warm oak spice, vanilla, and soft wood tannin, balanced by crisp juniper, peppery coriander, and earthy botanicals.

Finish: Long, warm, and lingering with notes of sweet oak, subtle smoke, dry juniper, and lingering spice.

Serve: Serve neat over a large ice cube, top with premium tonic and an orange slice, or substitute for whiskey in an Old Fashioned or Martinez.
