The citrus peel notes are tamped down here, as is the juniper, all of which is fine for a guy like me who’d usually rather be drinking whiskey than gin.
The oak influence isn't too strong or too sweet; it comes together like bruléed grapefruit. It's a very nice gin and a strong addition to the barrel-aged gin category.
You probably won’t mistake this for a Gordon’s or Beefeater, but for those in search of a contemporary aged gin with a bold, unique perspective, Watershed Distillery hits the mark. Recommended within its style.
