OLD PILOT’S BARREL AGED 0,2 L

Old Pilot’s Barrel Aged Gin represents the pinnacle of artisanal distillation from the Croatian micro-distillery Duh u boci. Crafted on the foundation of the original Old Pilot’s Gin, but with slightly modified botanical ratios, this gin offers a deeper, rounder, and more luxurious character.

At its core are six carefully selected botanicals from Mediterranean and continental Croatia, which, after distillation, undergo an aging process in several types of oak barrels. Each barrel differs in volume, wood structure, and toasting level, and each contributes its own unique aromas and complexity to the final spirit.

American oak brings rich notes of vanilla, caramel, and gentle smokiness, while Croatian oak adds refined bitterness and nuances of dried fruit. The result is a gin of exceptional depth, warmth, and elegance — a rare combination of classic gin freshness and the structure of an aged distillate.

Old Pilot’s Barrel Aged Gin is ideal enjoyed neat or with a cube of ice, and also works beautifully as a base for premium cocktails such as the Negroni, Old Fashioned, or a Barrel Aged Martini. This gin will especially appeal to whisky and aged-spirit lovers who want to explore a new dimension of gin.
