Martin Miller's 9 Moons Gin
Brand & History
Martin Miller's Gin was created in London in 1999 by Martin Miller and his partners, with the aim of combining traditional gin-making with an emphasis on purity and balance. The gin is distilled in England using traditional botanicals and blended with Icelandic spring water, which contributes to its distinctive smooth character.
Product
Martin Miller's 9 Moons Gin is a limited-edition expression matured for nine months in American oak casks previously used to age bourbon. The oak maturation gives the gin a golden color and introduces additional layers of vanilla, spice, caramel, and oak while retaining the juniper and citrus character of the original gin.
Tasting Notes
The nose reveals aromas of juniper, orange peel, vanilla, toasted oak, and gentle baking spices. The palate is smooth and rounded, combining juniper and citrus with notes of caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, and warm oak. The finish is long and gently spiced, with lingering citrus, juniper, and subtle woody sweetness.

Trivia
The name "9 Moons" refers to the nine-month maturation period in bourbon casks. Unlike many barrel-aged gins, which are often aged for only a short period, this extended maturation allows the oak to become a more prominent part of the spirit's character while maintaining its underlying gin botanicals.
