Delicious!
A very unique flavour, really enjoy it with tonic.

CanadaA different type of gin
This is a different gin. Not juniper forward, nor as botanical. The woody notes from the casks comes through immediately. It’s not a usual flavour for gin. But I quite like it. With tonic, it opens up the minty note a bit. But the cask taste still lingers. Perhaps with a bit more of the botanicals in the process of making, the wood note would take a step back. But then it would be different from what Top Shelf are creating. Good job!

Canada2 oz aged gin + 4 oz The Great Gentleman Spicy Ginger Beer
Bought the very first batch of this aged gin and I absolutely love it, especially with a quality ginger beer. Highly recommend it as a base spirit in a cocktail that has some oomph. Enjoy!

CanadaSurprising, complex, and interesting
My first foray into barrel-aged gins, and definitely a pleasant surprise - this interesting spirit retains the flavour notes and complexity from the gin while adding some earthiness and wood, all while rounding out the taste and mouthfeel. Really nice in a classic cocktail like a Manhattan or similar. Cheers!

CanadaUniquely tasty!
Sufficient flavour that it doesn’t require excessive mix. On the rocks with sparkling water was delicious. Mixed with Fevertree tonic water was unique in that there was a sweeter note and no bitter juniper taste.

CanadaRoom temperature gin!
I have six or eight different gins, but they all live in my freezer. This is the first gin I've had that I'm drinking at room temperature...not even putting ice in it yet, it's just so good neat. Maybe by the summer, I'll drop some into a Negroni, but I'm sure that would hide all the fantastic nuances that the barrel-aging brings. I sampled it immediately, and t's so good that well before the delivery driver could have made it back to the freeway, I had already ordered another bottle online. Great job! Thanks!

CanadaBeautiful. Just beautiful.
This was our first time with barrel-aged gin. We love it. I'm worried that it's going to run out too soon. No, really: we are very, very happy with our purchase. If you like this kind of thing, then you will like this product.

CanadaSmooth but no hit of a Gin flavour
Although this Top Shelf Reserve Barrel Aged Gin is smooth, it tastes more like a whiskey with a hint of cinnamon. I'm a whiskey lover, but if I'm going to have a drink of Gin, I would much prefer the flavour of Gin, so I'm only rating it a 3 star.

CanadaLovely gin
I already enjoyed the regular gin from Top Shelf so when I saw this barrel aged option I jumped at the chance. It took a while to get, but it was well worth the wait. Very smooth and easy to drink.

CanadaNice Gin
It was nice to purchase and enjoy this barrel aged gin. You could sense the wintergreen and carmelised citrus. Well done.

CanadaNot your cold, distant grandmother's gin
Truly and exceptional gin that goes beyond the regular, often mediocre combination of botanicals that many other distilleries put to market. The barrel aging adds a complex twist to spirit that comes together to taste like a gingerbread cookie (not the sweet type) made with a twist of citrus.

How long until I receive my order?
Click here to view our shipping FAQ and assistance with your order.
How does the Reserve Barrel Aged Gin differ from your Perth Whisky?
With our Perth Whisky we use a grain blend and for our Top Shelf Gin we use a 100% corn spirit. With our Reserve Barrel Aged Gin, which uses 100% corn spirit, you are getting all of the notes of the American oak barrel similar to our Whisky, but without the grain flavour.
What type of barrel do you use for the Reserve Barrel Aged Gin?
Only the best American oak barrels from Kelvin Cooperage are used for our Top Shelf Distillers Reserve line. The Barrel Aged Gin uses a new American oak with a char #3.
Is aging gin in barrels a new concept?
No, this is a revival of old practices. In the late 18th century and early 19th century, barrels were used to transport gin as a cost effective and safe way to travel. Barrel aged gin has been making a comeback over the past decade.
