Bluecoat American Dry Gin Barrel Reserve
A barrel-rested gin for whisky and gin lovers
Barrel Reserve is where gin meets whisky. It starts with Bluecoat's fresh, citrus-led American dry gin, then spends time in oak, which adds colour, vanilla and a touch of toasted spice without hiding the juniper. It is a great bridge bottle for whisky drinkers curious about gin.
