Embark on a journey of depth and sophistication with our Bourbon Barrel Aged Gin, a masterful creation born from passion and patience. Specifically crafted for the art of barrel-aging, this limited-release gin has been matured to perfection in a seasoned American oak bourbon barrel for a sumptuous 4 months.

As the bottle unveils, be greeted by an enticing bouquet of oak and complexity. The palate is taken on a layered experience, beginning with soft, candied citrus undertones, deepening into the warmth of cinnamon and the sweetness of vanilla. The finale is an enduring dance of spiced cardamom and subtle smokiness.

Serving Suggestions: For a refreshing, tall drink, blend with East Imperial Ginger Ale over ice. For a concentrated sip, a Hot Toddy is sublime, or simply enjoy with a drizzle of honey syrup over ice. Alternatively, the East Imperial Ginger Beer introduces an exciting twist to the experience.

Bourbon Barrel Aged Gin Magic

The Art of Transformation

Humdinger's Bourbon Barrel Aged Gin captures the essence of two worlds, merging the botanical complexity of gin with the rich heritage of bourbon. Aged in Barton 1792 bourbon barrels for four months, this process works its magic by:

  1. Enhancing Smoothness: The slow oxidation during aging softens and rounds the gin's profile, making every sip smoother and more refined.
  2. Infusing Subtle Nuances: The charred oak barrels impart a spectrum of flavors - from gentle vanilla to a hint of caramel - seamlessly blending with the gin's natural botanicals.
  3. Capturing Bourbon's Essence: The residual bourbon in the wood adds a warm, inviting layer, creating a unique and rich flavor profile.

A Sip of Enchantment

This Bourbon Barrel Aged Gin is not just a drink, but an experience. It’s where the spirited spice of gin meets the soulful warmth of bourbon, creating a harmonious blend that's perfect for the connoisseur's palate. Enjoy it neat or in a sophisticated cocktail, and savor the magic of barrel aging with every sip.

Not a gin drinker but i drink this one

Popped in as we where walking around the little town ship. and got offed a sample of the bourbon aged gin. tasted bloody nice and brought a bottle to bring home back to chch with us. it goes down well with a dash of ice and Ginger-ale to serve. the bottle did not last very long at all. we are going to have to pop back down to humdinger and get another bottle of this.

one thing i do like is the hand written labels with batch number the amount of bottles poured from the batch made.

Thank you again humdinger

Bourdon Barrel aged Gin

This is the second bottle we have purchased and the flavours can be seen as complex. With a fine tonic there are hints of lemon as well. A fine gin and well worth trying to add to your repertoire of fine NZ made gins. This is my top one for this season for sure.

Hi RA, great to hear you are enjoying the Bourbon Barrel Aged Gin so much!
As a thank you for taking the time to leave a review I will pop a little something in the post today for you.
Cheers, Andrew @ Humdinger
