Blood orange and tarragon take a turn through bourbon barrels in Common Ground Janéa Release 02. Ten months in Home Base Spirits barrels bring honey, toffee, vanilla, and oak to the gin's citrus and herbal notes.
Try it neat, over a cube, or where you would usually reach for whiskey in an Old Fashioned. It is a useful bridge for gin drinkers curious about oak and whiskey drinkers curious about botanicals.
