I am assuming that, given the history of cork in association with all manner of strengths of alcoholic beverages, it should be a safe choice?

Your cork will be good,and is perfectly safe.
The only problem that you might have is that after a "wet" use,you allow it to dry, and the seal is lost,it may then require re-tightening.

The only problem is, once the label has been removed, the glue is really difficult to remove (although I have found that a piece of kitchen towel laid over it and sprayed with WD40 makes it a lot easier after a 10-15 minute wait!)

Try a hair dryer on it! While peeling gently - will reach the right temp and suddenly peel easy and cleanly off

That looks just like what I am after , I normaly use demijohns for my gin infusing but I wanted to do bay leaf gin and the leafs would not come out of a demijohn very well , as for the tap I would not need it so could I just put a cork in the hole ?

Bay leaf gin??? Could you share the recipe?
