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.

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.
