Distiller Notes
2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal Winner
Pomp & Whimsy brings modern sensibilities to the tradition of gin making, by infusing classically distilled gin with a natural, delightfully flavorful botanical liqueur. Light citrus and exotic fruits on the start, evolving into a dry, warm spice finish, with a familiar suggestion of citrusy juniper on the tail. Subtly sweet and eminently quaffable.
This highly refined, yet playfully sensorial spirit, is both graceful by itself, and can be effortlessly dressed up or down.
It's gin, reimagined.

Pomp & Whimsy Gin Liqueur’s glorious botanicals do not mask this spirit—juicy white peaches and pears on the nose diminish any strong juniper or coriander notes with a jasmine kiss. Luscious notes of ginger, McIntosh apple and orange rind vamp the expansive palate.

This is lightly sweet, distinctly (but not overly) floral and compulsively quaffable. You'll want to add this cucumber-dominant gin liqueur to spring cocktails, although it also sips surprisingly well straight up.
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.
