When alpine depth meets Caribbean maturity
Rum meets the Alps – at the highest level. Our new Barrel Aged Dry Gin is no ordinary spirit. It is the result of time, patience and passion.
What happens when you lay our classic Alpengin in a former rhum agricole cask for 18 months? You get a unique limited edition that combines the alpine freshness of our gin with the depth and sweetness of Caribbean rum culture.
Gin in a cask? What is a Barrel Aged Dry Gin?
Cask-aged gin, also called barrel aged gin, is a special category for connoisseurs and enthusiasts. Maturing in oak casks gives the gin depth, complexity and a soft, round structure. The essential oils from juniper and botanicals harmonise with the aromas of the cask – in our case:
- A rhum agricole cask from Martinique,
- made in Cognac, France,
- with fine notes of vanilla, candied orange, coffee and honey.
This unique combination gives the gin a warm, slightly sweet aroma – without losing the character of a true dry gin.
A true one-off
Our Alpengin Barrel Aged Dry Gin – Rum Edition is a single barrel gin – which means it comes from exactly one single cask.
Once the cask is empty, this edition will be history forever.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: juniper, dried fruit and a hint of honey
- Palate: candied orange, fine vanilla, coffee
- Finish: warm, soft and long-lasting – with an elegant cask spice
How to enjoy it
Enjoy it neat – ideally at “old-fashioned” room temperature (16–18 °C), from a nosing glass to let the aromas unfold fully. Or as an Alpengin Sour – for a refined twist on the classic:
Alpengin Sour – the recipe:
- 6 cl Alpengin Barrel Aged – Rum Edition
- 3 cl freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 cl cane sugar syrup
Shake everything vigorously, serve on ice and garnish with a slice of lemon.
