Sherry has a long-standing association with celebrations and traditions. Its heritage and cultural significance often evoke a sense of nostalgia, making it a fitting choice for holiday gatherings where tradition and history are valued.  Its diversity, from dry to sweet variations, allows it to pair seamlessly with an assortment of holiday dishes, serving as a delightful companion from appetisers through to desserts. 

Stranger & Sons, known for its innovation and excellence in crafting drinks, has introduced a unique addition to its collection — the Sherry Cask Aged Gin. Breaking away from traditional spirit aging methods, this gin undergoes a distinctive aging process, resting in ex Amontillado and Oloroso sherry casks for over a year after distillation. This careful aging imparts nuanced flavours that set it apart from conventional gins.

What distinguishes this Sherry Cask Aged Gin is its complex fusion of flavours. The resting process within sherry casks infuses the spirit with delightful notes of spice, dark fruit, vanilla, and raisins. Complemented by the infusion of wild honey sourced from South Indian forests and cascara from Chikmagalur, this gin presents a warm, intricate palate of tastes that reveal the depth of its craftsmanship.

Upon tasting, one is greeted by a warm and intricate medley of flavors. Contrary to spirits aged in whisky or bourbon casks, the Sherry Cask Aged Gin boasts a unique blend of wood and spice coupled with the sweetness of dark fruits and nuts. The botanical essence of the gin remains vibrant, merging seamlessly with the sherry-infused notes. The result is a sophisticated and balanced profile that tantalises the taste buds with each sip.

There are various ways to enjoy this exquisite gin. For a pure and unadulterated experience, serve it over ice. The addition of a spritz of the accompanying grapefruit garnish spray enhances the drink, imparting a welcoming sweet aroma. Alternatively, for a refreshing twist, mix it as a highball by pouring it over ice, topping it with soda, and garnishing it with an orange wedge. The versatility of serving options ensures a delightful experience tailored to individual preferences.

Stranger & Sons' dedication to excellence has been recognised on a global stage, with the Sherry Cask Aged Gin securing a Gold Medal at the Spirits Business Design and Packaging Masters 2023. Beyond the exceptional taste, the bottle's label depicts an evocative jungle-inspired design. The label's intricate details encapsulate the essence of the spirit, paying homage to its origin and the richness of its character.

This limited-edition Sherry Cask Aged Gin is available in select locations, including Mumbai, Pune, Goa, and Bangalore. As stocks are limited, enthusiasts are encouraged to secure their bottles promptly to savour this unique and finely crafted spirit.

With its distinctive aging process, complex flavours, and exquisite presentation, it offers enthusiasts a sensory journey, inviting them to savour every sip and celebrate the festive season with a touch of sophistication and indulgence.
