“I WASN'T INTERESTED IN CREATING ANOTHER SPIRT I WANTED TO DISCOVER WHETER ONE MOMENT COULD TRANSFORM THE SPIRIT WITHOUT CHANGING ITS SOUL.
FINDING THAT ANSWER TOOK YEARS
WORKING ALONGSIDE MASTER DISTILLER
STEVE WILSON, WHOSE OVER 60 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE BROUGHT EXTRAORDINARY PRECISION TO EVERY STAGE OF THE PROCESS, I BEGAN EXPLORING HOW OAK COULD SHAPE A SPIRIT WITHOUT CHANGING ITS IDENTITY.
TOGETHER, WE BUILD ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST EXTENSIVE COLLECTIONS OF GIN RESTING IN OAK CASK.
EACH REVEALED SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
SOME BROUGHT STRUCTURE.
OTHERS WARMTH.
OTHERS EXTRAORDINARY TEXTURE.
MANY WERE BEAUTIFUL.
VERY FEW BELONGED.
IN THE END, ONLY THREE DID.
NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE THE RAREST NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE THE OLDEST
BECAUSE TOGETHER THEY REVEALED SOMETHING THAT HAD ALWAYS BEEN EXISTED WITHIN SEVENTY ONE.”
The Deepest Casks
THE CAREFULLY SELECTED DARK WOODS ALLOW IT TO SPEAK WITHA DEEPER VOICE.
THE RESULT IS EAU DE MINUIT.
A DARKER EXPRESSION OF THE SAME VISION. TEXTURED. LAYERED.
DANGEROUSLY NOCTURNAL. AN ONGOING
EXPLORATION INTO THE DEPTH OF THE NIGHT.
DOUBLE AGED IN
DARKER OAK CASK
SEVENTY ONE EAU DE MINUIT IS ANCHORED BY PYRENEAN BLACK OAK —
A DARKER, MORE STRUCTURAL OAK CHOSEN FOR ITS DEPTH, GRIP AND SHADOW.
IT IS THEN DEEPENED BY VOSGES FRENCH OAK, SEASONED FOR 18 MONTHS
BRINGING PRUNE, LEATHER, TOBACCO AND WARM SPICE AND ROUNDED BY AMERICAN OAK,
SEASONED FOR 24 MONTHS BRINGING VANILLIN, TOASTED ALMOND AND A LONG SILKEN FINISH.
TOGETHER, THE THREE DARK OAKS CREATE A DEEPER GOLDEN HUE,
RICHER TEXTURE AND LONGER FINISH, WHILE PRESERVING THE BOTANICAL CLARITY OF
SEVENTY ONE.
