Can Gin Be Overcooked?
Spirits are not "made", they are cooked. Can gin be overcooked? Oh yes, it certainly can.
My spirits are distilled from barley and hand-foraged flavours from the Shropshire Hills
Single Barrel Rye
Similar to an American whisky, Single Barrel Rye is a flavourful oak aged spirit made using traditional methods and high-quality British grain. A blend of malted rye and barley create a unique blend of malted sweetness, cereal depth and rye spice.
This single barrel release was aged in an American oak cask, and is being released without blending to maintain the integrity of the cask influence. With a limited number of bottles, when they are gone, they are gone forever.
