Great Women Spirits by Francis Ford Coppola ADA Lovelace Gin
Distiller Notes
Gold Medal at San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2020
Daughter of Lord Byron and protégé of Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace is recognized as the first computer programmer. Born in London in 1815, she studied math and science at the insistence of her mother, despite the common knowledge that these subjects were too rigorous for girls.
Ada Lovelace gin is an elegant, well-balanced gin that is crafted with a Code of 10 Botanicals, some of which may be found at the Family Coppola estates in Napa and Sonoma. Distilled in a custom designed copper pot still, using varying maceration methods as well as botanical basket extraction, Lovelace Gin is masterfully balanced through the ancient craft of distillation and blending.
Classic London dry feel with balanced aromas of Italian blue juniper berries, lavender, summer roses, ripe tangerines and Meyer citrus blossoms. Full-bodied on entry, mid-palate Turkish delight sweets, orris root and candied ginger finish.

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.
