Non-Wholly Spirits® Elephant Aged Gin – 52% – 500ml – 5031794606217

There are not that many aged gins around, because most gin lovers prefer the fresher aspects of gin. However, Elephant Gin doesn’t just age their standard gin here , they use the same 14 botanicals (but at a higher quantity) but with a different rye-based spirit, then age it for a year in three different oak casks. They then finish it in an ex-rum cask from Diplomatico for a few weeks. The wood softens the gin, but it still retains all the fresh character, with more vanilla sweetness from the wood coming through. Limited to 4000 bottles per run. For a great G&T use East Imperial Burma Tonic and garnish with Apple.
