Waterloo Barrel Aged Gin

Waterloo Barrel Aged Gin is a bold Texas gin that bridges the line between classic botanical gin and oak-aged brown spirits. Made by Waterloo Gin Company, this expression takes the brand’s distinctive botanical gin and ages it for 2 years in first-use medium char American oak barrels, creating a darker, richer profile with wood spice, vanilla, and whiskey-like depth.

The barrel aging adds body, color, and complexity while still keeping the gin’s botanical backbone intact. Waterloo’s signature ingredients include lavender, juniper, grapefruit, pecan, orris root, coriander, anise, ginger, and licorice root. After time in oak, those botanicals take on deeper notes of vanilla, nutmeg, leather, cinnamon, toasted wood, and warm spice.

Bottled at 94 proof, Waterloo Barrel Aged Gin has enough strength for both sipping and cocktails. It is especially appealing to gin drinkers who want more depth and whiskey fans who want something familiar but different. Use it in a Negroni, Martinez, gin Old Fashioned, barrel-aged gin and tonic, or any cocktail where oak, spice, citrus, and botanicals can stand out.
