Distiller Notes
2019 San Francisco World Spirits Gold Medal Winner
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.
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.
