Mushroom Reserve 030 is a limited-edition barrel-aged gin from AMASS that pushes the boundaries of gin with earthy, umami richness and botanical complexity. It combines adaptogenic mushrooms, cacao, and bergamot, then rests in charred New American Oak for 90 days. The result is a gin that drinks more like a spirit for contemplative sippingdeep, layered, savory yet balanced by citrus & floral tones.

Tasting Profile

Element Notes Nose / Aroma Umami richness from the mushrooms, bitter cacao, subtle oak char; a floral & citrus lift (bergamot, fresh grapefruit) in the background. Palate / Taste Deep earthy base from mushrooms; oak influence contributes char, warmth, touches of vanilla; cacao bitterness; then citrus flashes (bergamot, grapefruit peel) with juniper in the mix. Finish Lingering of oak & char, citrus zest, coniferous juniper, with the earthy & cacao tones slowly receding; balanced finish that isnt overwhelmingly sweet.

What Makes It Stand Out

• Adaptogenic Mushrooms + Barrel Aging: Very few gins combine functional mushrooms (Reishi, Lions Mane, Shiitake) and aging in oak. That gives it both novelty and depth.

• Savory / Earthy Profile: Moves away from purely sweet or citrus-forward gins; the savory/umami and mushroom elements give it almost whisky-like weight.

• Balance: While rich and barrel-aged, the citrus botanicals, bergamot, and florals help lighten and balance the experience. Not just densetheres brightness.

• Craft / Limited: Small batch, limited bottles, premium positioning. Good both for collectors and those looking for something truly different.

Usage & Pairing Suggestions

• Neat / On the Rocks: A few drops of water or a large ice cube to open oak & herbal aromas.

• Cocktails: Try in spirit-forward gin cocktailse.g. a Gin Old Fashioned, or a modified Negroni where the mushroom/reserve gin replaces the gin component. Also interesting with tonic, served with a citrus twist (grapefruit, lemon peel) to accent the bergamot.

• Pairing with Food: Earthy or umami foods: mushrooms, grilled vegetables, charred meats. Also works with dark chocolate (since cacao is a botanical) or citrus desserts.
