Bimini Barrel Reserve No.1 is barreled at full distillation strength (180 proof) for 3 months in three different kinds of twice-used barrels; ex-bourbon apple brandy, ex-bourbon rum, ex-bourbon sea salt. The results are blended and diluted to 101 proof and rested in stainless steel for 6 weeks before bottling.


Without the heavy oak and char qualities of new barrels, the familiar botanical notes of Bimini Gin are enhanced rather than overshadowed. The citrusy notes of hops and grapefruit are intensified with hints of salinity. The juniper upfront mingles with tree fruit in the middle palate and then subsides into a lingering caramel and vanilla finish.
