Completing a tasting review from past experiences. I'm surprised this didn't score above an 87 on the app. This is a flawless enhancement to the four peel gin, featuring smooth, oaky tannins and vanillins derived from the bourbon barrel. I drink this neat when I have a bad cold. For a more refined experience, mix it.

This was my initial experience with a Bourbon barrel aged gin, and I found it quite enjoyable. The aroma is strongly juniper and vanilla, almost like perfume. It's smooth upon the first taste, with floral juniper and a hint of vanilla oak. A truly fascinating drink.
This gin is certainly unique, but my fondness for bourbon makes a bourbon-flavored gin quite pleasing.
Starts with a quick bite that quickly smooths out. Botanical notes are present throughout.
It perfectly combines the best of both worlds! So smooth, light, and easy to drink!
Enjoyable enough to drink by itself, but exceptional in a Negroni.
