Equipo Navazos La Bota 87 Gin, Bota NO

Bottled in 2018. 42.5% abv. Following on from La Bota 81, this is Navazos’ second Gin release. Distilled in 2014, it’s a London Dry Gin style, infused with a range of citrus-led botanicals (lemon peel and sweet and bitter orange peels) alongside a core trio of juniper, angelica and coriander. Nothing so exceptional there… But then the spirit was aged for almost five years in Jerez de la Frontera, in a single, old Sherry butt previously used for maturing Fino from Jerez.
