Zuidam Dutch Courage Aged Gin (70cl , 44%)
A cask aged edition of Zuidam’s Dutch Courage gin! This gin spends time maturing in 200 litre American oak casks before being bottled at 44% ABV, resulting in caramel-y, vanilla-y, aged-gin-yumminess coming through alongside the crisp, herbal juniper notes.
Dutch Courage Aged Gin is a complex gin with a London dry style that has been aged in American oak casks, which adds notes of vanilla, spice, and toasted oak to the original juniper, citrus, and herbal botanicals. The result is a softer, richer, and rounder spirit with a balance of sweet citrus, pine, and warming spices that is highly versatile for cocktails or sipping neat.Â

- Overall flavor:Â Balanced and complex, with a sweetish, rounded character that remains distinct from an Old Tom style ginÂ
Finish
