Distiller Notes
Colorado-grown sage, along with lemongrass and French verveine provide a fruit-forward flavor. Fresh, sliced oranges smooth out the mouthfeel. Fresh lime peel adds a clean punch of citrus to brighten the gin. Fresh ginger acts as a sweet backbone, while black pepper adds balance with a hint of spice. Additional botanicals that round out the flavor profile include juniper, orris root, and angelica root.

Look for a lightly sweet, grassy aroma. The light palate opens with refreshing melon and cucumber, finishing brisk and peppery, with lemon astringency on the exit. Mix into Martinis and other classic cocktails. Botanicals include sage foraged from the Colorado Rockies.
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.
