Distiller Notes
Inspired by English Slow Gin, this is the one of the most innovative and unique spirits to hit the industry in recent years. Greenhook Ginsmith’s Beach Plum Gin Liqueur is crafted by soaking Long Island Beach Plums in our signature American Dry Gin for 7 months, with a touch of Turbinado Sugar. The plums are then pressed for their gin and juice and go through an intense filtration process. The final product is bottled and aged in glass before being shipped. The spirit starts with a sour cherry or cranberry flavor with warm notes of juniper and citrus ole plums in Signature American Dry Gin for a full seven months, with just a touch of Turbinado Sugar.

Inspired by England's sloe gin and made with beach plums from Long Island, New York, this gin has round, sweet and tart flavors, with an earthy cinnamon touch on the finish. With its distinctive dark-cherry-juice color and aroma, this lends itself to making fizzes and other cocktails. It's distilled from cane sugar, but it's not supersweet.
First prepared by 13th century Italian monks as herbal medicines and elixirs, Liqueurs are distilled spirits that have been combined with flavoring agents. A range of herbs, spices, nuts, fruits and flowers can be used, and a sweetener such as sugar or corn syrup is often added. While typically rather sweet, some examples are herbaceous or tart and pair exceptionally well with desserts or act as a delightful addition to cocktails.
