Munakra
Chardonnay Cask
Distilled by MUNAKRA.
The Chardonnay cask shows first: white grape, green apple skin, a wisp of oak and buttery weight over the juniper. Vienna dryness keeps it tight rather than sweet, with citrus peel and a faint white-wine acidity on the finish. Softer and rounder than an unrested gin, but still recognisably gin.
Serve — suggested, not sourced
Tonic — Thomas Henry Dry Tonic, 1:2 — low quinine so the cask notes stay audible
Garnish — A thin ribbon of green apple
Martinez
gin · sweet vermouth · maraschino liqueur · orange bitters
Stirred over ice, strained, orange twist.
Why this gin — The Chardonnay cask's oak and white-grape roundness meets sweet vermouth halfway, so the drink needs no help to feel wine-like.
