Original price was: $99.00.$94.00Current price is: $94.00. incl GST
We’ve been aging our award-winning Wild Tasmanian Gin in a wine barrel for the last 9 months, allowing it to develop an elegant full-bodied taste with complexity and depth.
The wine barrel comes from a local Tamar valley winery (Goaty Hill) and is a French Oak barrel previously used to age Chardonnay.
Creamy, oak-tinged notes of buttery vanillins and carmels add extra layers to Bright Night’s signature earthy warmth.

Description
Tasting Notes
Creamy, oak-tinged notes of buttery vanillins and carmels add extra layers to Bright Night’s signature earthy warmth. The pale straw hue is suggestive of the delicate influence of the 220L French Oak Chardonnay cask in which this gin has been rested. Nose: On the nose, this gin opens with a delightful blend of buttery and oaky aromas, reminiscent of freshly cut wood and smooth vanilla. The presence of spices lingers subtly, offering hints of warmth and complexity that invite further exploration. Palate The palate is rich and full-bodied, showcasing layers of caramel sweetness intertwined with the crisp notes of Chardonnay. Subtle sweetness from the juniper adds a delicate touch that enhances the botanical character, while hints of cassia and cardamom provide a gentle spice that complements the vanilla undertones. The sweetness and spice adds to the signature flavors of barrel aging. Finish The finish is exceptionally smooth, with a lingering butteriness that coats the palate. A peppery pop provides a lively contrast, while bright citrus notes emerge, leaving a refreshing and clean finish that invites another sip.Awards

Bright Night’s Barrel Aged Gin will appeal to any ginthusiast. Would also make an ideal introduction for anyone who hasn’t tried this style of gin before. I’ll be honest and say I had high expectations based on the outstanding quality and flavours of their other gins and this is now in my top 5 👏
Vanilla, caramel and the hint of oak notes seeping through to delight the palate.
The gorgeous light golden colour hue clearly influenced from resting in the French Oak Chardonnay Cask (from a local Tasmanian Vineyard too for bonus points). Just beautiful.
I enjoyed this neat and also over ice to ensure I savour the true flavours. I’ll need to buy the bigger bottle to try playing with some other flavour and drink combinations 😏
Thank you @brightnightgin for creating another no doubt award winner.

This is no doubt, one of my favourite Bright Night gins. Picked it up at Ginuary last year and got two bottles this year as well! Makes my favourite gin and tonic.

My new favourite, I’m not exaggerating when I say this gin is the best I’ve ever had, so smooth and easy to sip I haven’t even gotten as far as mixing it with anything just goes down too well neat or on the rocks.
The vanilla and caramel notes from the Chardonnay barrels really shine through without tasting sweet, thought I was a wine girl but this one has me converted. I’ll recommend to anyone.

I’m more of a whisky drinker but I picked this up at the Australian Distillers Festival because this was just so delicious. I’m not a gin expert, but I know what I like, and this Chardonnay Barrel Aged Gin is amazing! It’s got a rich, smooth flavor with hints of vanilla and caramel that I just can’t get enough of. I’ve been sipping it on its own and it’s perfect for a special occasion. Highly recommend!
Jonathan –
Tried the Bright Night Barrel Aged Gin recently and it totally exceeded expectations. Super smooth, with this warm, buttery vibe from the oak barrels that just works so well with the original gin’s earthy, Tasmanian feel. You really get those hints of vanilla and caramel coming through without it being too sweet.
I had it neat the first time – honestly didn’t need anything else – but also gave it a go in a Negroni and it added a really nice depth. It’s like the gin version of a cozy fireside drink. It’s something to be had through all 4 seasons.
If you’re into gins that have a bit of a twist and a lot of character, this one’s definitely worth a try. Really well done.

I really enjoyed this gin, especially with its unique barrel aged flavour which was really interesting in a good way. It was great on its own and also great mixed with tonic. The bottle looked nice and the included cocktail book was a cool bonus. A solid choice for anyone looking to try something new and tasty!

Great oak taste, I enjoy drinking this neat!

Had the pleasure of tasting and purchasing this at the Hobart Twilight Market, best out of the bunch, easy drinking.
Alysha –
Well done Damian and team, my favorite aged gin! Straight or with some Ginger Ale!
Aiden –
A great twist on gin – bright and zippy at first, then comfy and sweet from the barrel. Tastes like toasted oak, a bit of vanilla and a hint of caramel. Smooth and easy to sip. Great neat or over ice when you want something a bit special. Also the Gin and Tonic with this is very lovely.
Hannah –
I’m obsessed with this gin. Im not a Chardonnay fan but this gin is delicious. I was surprised how much I liked it, but it’s found its way into my top 5 gins. Give it a go!

My third Good Food and Wine Festival gin is the Chardonnay Barrel Aged Gin from @brightnightgin
Now I won’t lie Chardonnay is far from my favourite wine so to say I was sceptical is an understatement. But boy was I more than pleasantly surprised!
Nose: the second this gin hits your nose you are assaulted with vanilla and caramel, it smells like it belongs in a sweet shop, it is delicately smooth and sweet… yet this gin is very deceptive
Taste: tasting straight surprisingly the juniper comes in and dashes away any thought of a sugary sweet treat which, for me at least, was quite a shock! But once you add some tonic to it, it gives the other flavours present room to shine and that vanilla sweetness comes roaring back!
Although sweeter than my normal go to gins (well all know I am a dry and bitter kinda gal, that’s how I like my gins too 😉) this was highly enjoyable, something I could easily sip away at in a GnT, although recently having tried a Breakfast martini (stay tuned for that) I think that this is something this gin would shine in! With its sweet vanilla and caramel flavours it would mellow out the acidity of the marmalade perfectly!
Look I know I am liberal with my juniper berries but I can’t help it that I only taste FANTASTIC gins 😂
This gin gets five juniper berries 🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐
