Boulder Ginskey Gin
Boulder Ginskey is likened to a 'Botanical Bourbon', and winner of the prestigious title 'World’s Best Cask Gin' at the 2015 World Gin Awards in London! Their recipe for Ginskey™ Barrel Aged Gin starts with Boulder Spirits signature Award Winning Boulder Gin that they distill in small batches with the finest, hand selected botanicals and ingredients. They then age their Gin to perfection for a minimum of 2 years! Yes, you read that right, aged for two or more years, which if you know your Barrel Aged Gin is rare as most distilleries age their gin for a year or less to rush it to market. Not Boulder Spirits! They let their Boulder Gin age for two or more years in New, #2-char, American Oak Barrels to produce the rich smoky caramel, vanilla, and warm spicy oak flavors more commonly associated with whiskey – Hence the name 'Ginskey' which they think is the perfect description for this unique 'Brown Gin' only attempted by a handful of distilleries in the entire country.
