Simon’s 1794 Barrel Aged Gin

Starlight Barrel Aged Gin is a richly layered expression that brings together botanical brightness and the depth of extended oak maturation. Beginning with Simon’s 1794 Gin, this spirit is carefully aged for a minimum of two years in Starlight’s own brandy casks. These barrels, previously used to age estate-produced brandy, impart subtle fruit character, soft oak influence, and a warm, rounded texture to the gin. The result is a spirit that bridges the worlds of gin and whiskey — retaining vibrant botanical character while gaining richness, complexity, and depth through time in barrel. It is a refined and versatile expression designed for elevated cocktails.

The Brandy Cask Influence
Aging gin in brandy barrels introduces a unique layer of complexity not found in traditional unaged expressions. Over time, the spirit interacts with the oak and residual brandy character within the cask, developing notes of dried fruit, soft vanilla, and gentle spice. This maturation softens the sharper edges of the gin while enhancing its texture and depth. The result is a beautifully integrated spirit where botanical brightness meets the warmth and richness of extended oak aging.
