Cask 75 is a collaboration between Hold Fast Distillery and Whisky Enlightenment. They have used their classic Gin recipe and let it age for 9 weeks into a barrel which matured the 'The Distillery - Edition 2 - Riverbourne.' This brings an element of butterscotch and Christmas spices to the Gin.
It is distilled with Juniper, Coriander, Cardamon, Angelica Root and Orange Peel and then aged for 9 weeks in a cask.
This Gin is perfect to drink neat, have with soda and tonic water. The deeper Juniper flavour makes sure you can keep the gin flavoursome whether you garnish with cucumber, lime or lemon.
