- Aged for 5 years in Austrian oak casks
- A medley of baking spice notes present green cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg on the nose; the palate is bold and equally confectionary with spicy juniper, white pepper, orange peel, and vanilla

Hans Reisetbauer took his handcrafted, small-batch Blue Gin and aged it for 5 years in Austrian oak casks, resulting in a distillate with round sweetness, complex mouthfeel, and a flavor reminiscent of spiced eggnog. Higher in proof than Reisetbauer Blue Gin, the oak aging tempers the extra bite, making for an incredible gin just as enjoyable to sip as it is to mix into cocktails.
