Negroni for wine lovers: aged in a Bordeaux barrel

£23.95, worldofzing.com

​

I know, I know, it's not wine, but World of Zing's Negroni is aged in oak barrels that previously held Bordeaux red wine – and, believe me, it's very good. Obviously the judges at last year's Spirits Masters competition thought so, too: they gave it a gold medal. It's made with Tanqueray gin and the classic bitter-sweet taste is given a twist with Zing's Serenity Bitters. Ageing in Bordeaux barrels gives extra depth and complexity, 28% abv.
