The distillery, in Napa Valley's American Canyon, was co-founded by Master Distiller Colin Baker, who learned distilling at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, and Matthew Meyer. All of their spirits are made from scratch, from grain to glass, in custom-made copper stills, and malt whisky is the distillery's underlying ambition. The botanicals include juniper, angelica, chamomile and coriander.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed fruit and butterscotch notes from the unaged malt spirit meld with the piney, deeply warming flavors of the botanicals, creating a gin that will challenge your previous notions of what a gin can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts heavy, embossed bottle makes it a great gift for gin and whisky fans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost gins start from neutral grain spirit, so a malt base gives this one far more texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChamomile adds a soft floral note to the juniper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it with tonic and a twist of orange to bring out the red fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt makes a rich Martini with a lemon twist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhisky drinkers often find barley gin a natural bridge into gin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA large ice cube is all it needs for slow sipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts grain character also shines in a Tom Collins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heavy embossed bottle looks great on any bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unaged malted barley spirit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red fruit, butterscotch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanicals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Piney juniper, warming spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Loch \u0026amp; Union Distilling, American Canyon, Napa Valley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barley gin, grain to glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanicals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juniper, angelica, chamomile, coriander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 proof (43% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e California, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry it in a Martinez, a Negroni or a gin Old Fashioned, or sip it on a large cube.
