Macaja Cask Gin 0.5L

The Macaja Cask Gin from Bocchino is a wood-aged gin from Piedmont. Unlike a classically clear gin, it thrives on what the barrel contributes: depth, spice, and a calm, round stature.

180 days of affinage in small barriques give it a complexity that an unaged gin cannot reach. The wood highlights aromas and essential oils that arise solely through the barrel.

On the nose, spicy and balsamic notes appear. On the palate, the gin is clear and harmonious, with a delicate sweetness in the finish.

Recommendation: neat at room temperature or over a large ice cube so that the wood spice remains in the foreground. In a cocktail, it fits into a Negroni or a Gin Tonic with a rosemary garnish, which emphasizes the balsamic side. A gin for quiet evenings and for everyone who likes their gin with character.
