A unique spirit that delights both gin and whiskey lovers alike, KOVAL Barreled Gin is crafted with the same prized recipe as the Dry Gin, but with a new level of citrus, spice and light butterscotch sweetness that come from its maturation in a KOVAL whiskey barrel. KOVAL Barreled Gin is crisp enough to be enjoyed straight, or as a new layer of depth in classic cocktails such as an Old Fashioned, Negroni or Gimlet.
TASTING NOTES
COLOUR Light amber.
NOSE Florals and juniper with a bit of honey.
PALATE Crisp — in between a whiskey and a Gin — with vanilla and caramel peaking through the juniper notes.
FINISH Long and full of wood spice and nutmeg.

The concluding installment in the "Five Virtues series" is dedicated to Water, paying homage to the five elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—integral in crafting the whisky. This edition is a tribute to Tomatin's exclusive spring, the Alt-na-Frith Burn, a constant water source. The whisky undergoes maturation, with half in sherry hogheads casks and the remaining half in second-fill bourbon barrels. Limited to just 6,000 bottles, this series is a testament to craftsmanship and nature's influence.

Botran Solera 18Y is a rum aged at high altitude in the mountains of Guatemala. It comes from a blend of rums between 5 and 18 years old and has benefited from Solera-type aging. The American oak casks used for the Solera are former Sherry and Port casks. Furthermore, the aging cellars are located at an altitude of 2,300 meters, which aims to intensify the aging, thus developing delicate aromas of vanilla, tobacco, and sandalwood.
