Monks Road Barrel Finished Gin
Gin
Log Steel Distillery
Nose
Juniper forward with balanced spice and a hint of dried fruit.
Palate
Soft and buttery with juniper berry and white pepper spice. Subtle citrus notes with hints of tangerine and orange rather than lemon zest. Spiced, herbal character from six months of barrel finishing.
Finish
Smooth transition with lingering botanical complexity and the influence of bourbon barrel maturation.
Overall Score
3.8 / 5
A well-executed barrel-finished gin with juniper-forward botanicals softened by bourbon barrel maturation, offering a buttery, approachable spirit with subtle citrus and herbal notes.
