First introduced in 2013 and relaunched in 2015, this limited edition St. George's Dry Rye Gin includes an additional aging process to its production. Beginning with a 100% rye grain spirit base, the spirit is then infused with 6 botanical ingredients - juniper berries, black peppercorn, caraway, coriander, grapefruit peel, and lime peel. Following distillation, the gin rests for about 18 months in American and French oak wine casks. It is bottled at 49.5% ABV.

Themis was such a unique gin. Definitely worth a bottle if you are able to find. Using the Dry Rye version of their three spectacular main line gins, was key here. The rye and white whiskey quality of Dry Rye lent itself perfectly for a bit of barrel aging. Try in a Negroni, Old Fashioned, or neat.
strong but well balanced flavors-- juniper, citrus, spice-- over the dry rye base. A little fruit and vanilla roundness from aging in oak give this the elegant finish. I love barrel aged gins, and there are some very good ones more readily available than this rare bottle, but this is worth the search.
Closer to whiskey then gin, Think aged whiskey infused with Juniper instead of a traditional gin. Would make a better whiskey cocktail, perhaps Manhattan, instead of a martini. Not at all offensive, but a three instead of higher because you would have to custom tailor a cocktail to this spirit.
I may not be the biggest gin drinker but I know what I like. This was amazing. Had a great bite. Very floral nose. Sexy color. A few drops of tonic really opened up the Juniper and other botanicals present.
Not a gin fan; but the base notes from the casks put this into the “like” category A year later: this is growing on me and is now my favorite gin to sip
Floral spikes. Lime peel and warming rye spice. Undertones of red wine. Oily.
