González Byass USA has released The London Nº1 Sherry Cask Gin aged in Tío Pepe Fino casks, the #1 selling fino in the world. The London Nº1 Gin and Tío Pepe are both part of the González Byass portfolio, making this partnership an ideal family match.
The London Nº1 is one of very few super premium gins actually produced and distilled in London in the purest traditional style and made with the highest quality English grain spirits. Following the triple distillation in copper pot stills by Master Distiller Charles Maxwell, the gin is transferred to Jerez and the historic González Byass cellars where it is aged for three months in former Tío Pepe casks that have gone through the solera system for 10 years. There, the gin extracts compounds from the American oak and character of the Tío Pepe Fino. The Sherry casks provide a unique character to the gin, a finesse and delicacy that softens the notes of the botanicals and integrates within the alcohol.
“There has been an increase in demand for Sherry cask-aged spirits in the U.S.,” says Nicolás Bertino, CEO and Country Manager of González Byass USA. “Partnering our two brands, Tío Pepe and The London Nº1, makes for an ideal spirit; intertwining the aromatics of the gin with the oak of the Sherry cask creates a perfect new Sherry aged gin we welcome to the family.”
The London Nº1 Sherry Cask has a pale-yellow color due to the extraction of oak wood components. On the nose, the gin is fragrant and pleasant with hints of juniper berries and a mix of botanicals, enhanced by a subtle note of wood. On the palate, it is smooth, elegant and complex with well-integrated notes of alcohol and oak and a long, velvety finish.
Retailing for $75.00, The London Nº1 Sherry Cask Gin will be available in the U.S. in October 2022. The London Nº1 Gin is currently in market and retails for $39.99.
