Waterloo Barrel Aged Gin

Waterloo Barrel Aged Gin is an American gin matured in select oak barrels — bridging gin's bright, herbal snap with whiskey-like warmth, adding vanilla, subtle caramel, and a golden hue while keeping juniper and botanical complexity front and center.

Made in the United States, Waterloo Barrel Aged Gin pairs classic juniper botanicals with the depth of oak barrel aging. A monitored maturation builds layers of nuance — warm vanilla, gentle tannin, and a rich amber-gold color — without losing what makes gin, gin. It's a natural crossover for both gin lovers and whiskey drinkers.
