Santamania London Dry Gin Reserva

Santamania London Dry Gin Reserva is a barrel-aged London Dry gin from a small distillery in Madrid.

The botanical recipe starts from the same place as the house Madrid Dry, then shifts to suit time in wood: lime and rosemary are dropped in favour of Spanish orange peel, and the juniper is pushed harder to counter the softening effect of the cask. Each one-shot distillation goes into a single four-year-old French oak barrel and stays three to six months, one barrel making one batch. The casks rest in a sixteenth-century stone cellar. They add almost no flavour of their own, lending a straw colour and rounding the botanicals without overwriting them.

Juniper and orange peel up front, then a rounder, warmer middle with soft spice and a dry finish. Fine over one big ice cube, or in a Negroni where the weight does real work. In a gin and tonic, keep the garnish to orange peel.
