FIRKIN gin was introduced in 2015 by the Gleann Mór Spirits Company, recognized for its independent releases of single malt Scotch whiskies. Islay Rested FIRKIN Gin is a limited edition product that starts with a base spirit infused with botanicals such as juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, and orris root, which undergoes four distillations. This gin is then aged for a brief duration in American oak barrels that previously held Islay Scotch whisky. It is subsequently bottled at 46% ABV.

Outstanding. Abundant juniper and typical gin botanicals (citrus, cardamom, cassia?) create a superb drink. The oak is noticeable and well-balanced, but it's the refined Islay peat that truly elevates it. I sampled it neat, in a gin-based Old Fashioned, and with a floral gin and tonic. It performs exceptionally well in any preparation.
More savory than sweet, with good balance. Enjoyed it served neat.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
