Barrels were used again and again for storing and shipping, and Old Tom gin was often poured straight from the cask, sometimes beneath the sign of a black tomcat. Along the way, it took on color and character from the oak. It was finished gin, well before anyone gave it a name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOur first experimental gin is a nod to that tradition. For the final Homeplace release of 2026, we rested our Harvest Gin for thirty months in Armagnac casks, pairing its botanical profile with a barrel chosen to highlight some flavors and gently shift others. The result is a golden gin with added sweetness, brighter fruit, and a rounder palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSip it neat to appreciate the cask, or stir it into a Martinez, the 1880s classic that predates the martini: 2 oz gin, 1 oz sweet vermouth, a barspoon of maraschino liqueur, and 2 dashes of orange bitters, finished with a lemon twist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a spirit worth sitting with, and for now, it's only available at Castle \u0026amp; Key.
