Barrel gin seems to somehow magically walk the line between gin and whiskey, and it’s starting to pop up more and more. Paul Hletko of FEW Spirits and Andrew Auwerda of Bluecoat Gin each share their stories on how they got started with this unusual category. Chad invites over a panel of friends to drink a bunch of gin and answer the question: what other good things come in barrels?
