The uncorking...

It's been over a month since I started aging some Beefeater London Dry Gin & a little bit of Miller's Reformed Gin in a 2 Litre barrel. It tastes amazing.

So which do you prefer!? ...Aged or Unaged.

Should I stop now?

So it's been about 3 weeks now since I've started maturing my gin. The colour is a nice dark straw. It has a nice smoky smell of honey. The mouthfeel is warm with an odd flavour of vanilla, and some very forward notes of cucumber, perhaps from the Miller's Gin. After that, I find the juniper to be very smooth and almost sweet. I'm probably going to leave it on for another week to see what develops!

Barreled Goodness

So, it's been a week since I emptied water out of one of the barrels and filled it with 1.75 litres of Beefeaters and .25 litres of Martin Millers Gin. We'll let it age for a few more weeks.

What should I put in the second barrel?
