Bluecoat American Dry Gin is handcrafted using a proprietary blend of 100% certified organic botanicals, highlighted by American citrus peels and a softer, rounder juniper berry, as well as angelica and coriander- making it uniquely different than the London dry style gins that have long dominated the market.
The nose leads with refreshingly sweet aromatics, giving way to soft and earthy juniper notes. The body is intensely smooth with a complex depth of flavors that reveal themselves as they permeate the palate. The bright finish is exceptionally long and completes an experience that is incredibly pleasing to the senses.
Best served in a gin and tonic with an orange garnish.

Made in the London dry style and packaged in a distinctive peacock-blue bottle, this gin has mild aromatics and fleeting sweetness on the palate chased by citrus, juniper and spice. The finish is crisp and assertive, even slightly hot at 94 proof, but that won't matter once mixed into a tall gin-and-tonic or Tom Collins.
Inspired by the Founding Fathers and Revolutionaries past, Bluecoat Gin was born out of innovation for the free thinkers and creative class in the pursuit of progress. Handcrafted in small batches in the birthplace of America, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Bluecoat Gin tones down the pine notes found in the typical London Dry gin for a style that is uniquely their own. Made with 100% certified organic botanicals, including a blend of sweet American citrus peel, Bluecoat appeals to the 21st Century gin drinker’s palate. Inspired by those who came before, Bluecoat Gin was named in honor of the soldiers that fought for America’s Independence in the Revolutionary War, celebrating the American Revolution in Gin.
They celebrate Gindependence with the Original American Dry Gin, a gin that was made by Americans, for the American palate.
Enjoying an enthusiastic resurgence in modern cocktail culture, Gin, a.k.a. ‘Dutch Courage,’ was originally touted as a 16th century cure for cowardice and stomach ailments. Arguably the broadest and most dynamic category of spirits in terms of flavor profiles and production styles, Gin is a distilled grain spirit that derives its primary flavor from juniper berries and secondary flavors from a dazzling array of spices, herbs, fruits and botanicals. It is both produced and enjoyed all around the world and is most commonly mixed into cocktails such as the Martini or simply added to tonic water.
