As with each of the other line extensions, it starts with the original Bimini Gin.

The original gin is barreled at full distillation strength (180 proof) for three months in three different twice-used barrels: ex-bourbon apple brandy, ex-bourbon rum, and ex-bourbon sea salt. The results are blended and diluted to 101 proof and rested in stainless steel for six weeks before bottling. Without the heavy oak and char qualities of new barrels, the familiar botanical notes of Bimini Gin are enhanced rather than overshadowed. The citrusy notes of hops and grapefruit are intensified with hints of salinity. The juniper up front mingles with tree fruit in the middle palate then subsides into a lingering caramel & vanilla finish.

Botanicals: Juniper, Grapefruit Peel, Mt. Hood Hops Aromatic Barley Malt, Coriander Seed, Chamomile, Orris Root
