The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Monk's Road Barrel Finish Gin comes from the rolling hills of Kentucky, built on the same delicately balanced botanical recipe as the distillery's standard dry gin, but finished for six years in bourbon barrels before bottling. That extended barrel time bridges the gap between classic gin and Kentucky's signature spirit, bourbon.
On the nose, expect juniper and gentle botanical spice intertwined with oak, vanilla, and caramel notes picked up from the bourbon barrels. The palate carries that same balance forward, with barrel-aged warmth and sweetness layered over the gin's herbal backbone, finishing smooth and rounded rather than sharply dry. This barrel-finished character makes it an excellent choice for gin drinkers who also love bourbon — try it in an Old Fashioned built with gin instead of whiskey, or simply sipped neat to appreciate the barrel influence.
For anyone looking to bridge the world of gin and barrel-aged whiskey, Monk's Road Barrel Finish Gin offers a genuinely unique Kentucky-made option. Shop this barrel-finished gin online at Habits Bottle Shop and try something different for your next pour.

Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
