When Alpine depth meets Caribbean maturity

Rum meets the Alps – and 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 place our classic Alpengin in a former rhum agricole barrel 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 barrel? What is a Barrel Aged Dry Gin?

Barrel-aged gin, also called barrel-aged gin, is a special category for connoisseurs and enthusiasts. Aging in oak barrels gives the gin depth, complexity, and a smooth, rounded structure. The essential oils from juniper and botanicals harmonize with the aromas of the barrel – in our case:

  • A rhum agricole barrel from Martinique,

  • made in Cognac, France,

  • with subtle 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 truly unique piece

Our Alpengin Barrel Aged Dry Gin – Rum Edition is a single barrel gin – meaning it comes from exactly one barrel. When the barrel is empty, this edition is history forever.


Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Juniper, rum pot, dried fruits

  • Taste: Candied oranges, delicate vanilla, coffee, and a hint of honey

  • Finish: Warm, soft, and lingering – with elegant barrel spice


Drinking Suggestion

Enjoy neat – best at room temperature, from a nosing glass to fully develop the aromas. 

Or as an Alpengin Sour – for a sophisticated twist on the classic:


Alpengin Sour – the recipe:

  • 6cl Alpengin Barrel Aged – Rum Edition

  • 3cl freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 3cl cane sugar syrup


Shake everything vigorously, serve over ice, and garnish with orange zest.
