Rarely does a barrel-rested gin make its way to our shelves. Usually the best ones are made by folks who also make their own bourbon, because they get the freshest barrels by refilling the same day they are dumped. This avoids any funky oxidation and just lets the sweet bourbon influence shine. One Eight's Barrel Rested Ivy City Gin is a delight in a Martinez. From the distillery: "District Made Barrel Rested Gin is an heirloom flavor-bomb bespoke of the Mid-Atlantic. This American dry-style is crafted with our signature rye-forward mash bill, 10 vibrant botanicals, and added orange peel rested in both new American oak and ex-bourbon barrels for six months. The sweet warmth of wood brightens aromatic tones of Appalachian allspice in an extraordinary spirit proudly poured.The mash bill is 66% Abruzzi Rye, 28% Corn, and 6% Malted Rye."
