Oaked Gin

Where Whisky Meets Gin In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, gin was often transported and stored in oak barrels. Black Fox Oaked Gin is a nod to this centuries-old practice. If you are looking for an exceptional barrel-aged gin in Canada, this one-of-a-kind spirit rests in white oak barrels beneath vast Saskatchewan prairie skies, gaining true Canadian character. As the cask expands and contracts in our extreme climate, it imparts depth, warmth, and complexity. The result is a spirit that perfectly harmonizes the bright botanicals of gin with the richness and crossover appeal of a whisky. Tasting Notes & Profile This bold spirit opens with rich, earthy oak aromas before revealing smooth layers of caramel, vanilla, and baking spices. A long, lingering finish ties it together, leaving a subtle sweetness that invites another sip. It is best savoured neat, or used to elevate your favourite whisky cocktail. How to Enjoy: The Oaked Gin Sour While incredible on its own, this spirit shines in classic cocktails. For a signature taste, try the Oaked Gin Sour: The Oaked Gin Sour Ingredients 1.5 oz Black Fox Oaked Gin 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice 0.5 oz simple syrup Egg white (or aquafaba) 1 cocktail sour cherry Directions Add the Oaked Gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white into a cocktail shaker and dry shake.
