41% ABV.

Santamanía's Madrid Reserva uses a similar botanical recipe to the Madrid Dry, although here proportions are tweaked to work better with the barrel evolution. For this reason, no lime or rosemary are used in the Reserva distillation, replaced instead by Spanish orange peel. The juniper is also dialled up to mitigate the softening effect of the barrel ageing. Each one-shot distillation is matured for three to six months in a single, four year old French oak cask. One barrel. One batch. The barrels, matured in a in a 16th century stone cellar, impart no flavour but do give a lovely straw colour to the gin, and act as an instrument for intensifying and softening the botanical flavours. It's a remarkably different gin to the Madrid Dry, oozing dusky spices, verbena and panettone aromas that marry beautifully with a sweet vermouth and the maraschino in a Martinez. The juniper is more restrained here, while the beautiful citrus notes carry through from the maturation with surprising intensity. It's one of the most exciting aged gins we have tasted. A very classy yet decedent spirit that works a treat with the orange-influenced StrangeLove Dirty Tonic. Spanish botanicals: Fresh lemon peel, fresh orange peel, liquorice root, pistachio nuts, raspberries (fresh when in season, freeze dried when not), cinnamon, white pepper & dry ginger. Imported: Juniper, coriander seed, cardamom and angelica and orris root.
