Distiller Notes
This is a perfect point-of-entry for people who’ve never bonded with a gin. The juniper is uncharacteristically soft, riding in a floral wave of geranium and rosewater. No one but Rabbit Hole finishes gin in Kentucky rye whiskey barrels. The effect is sublime. Layers of white pepper and coriander and the faintest touch of wood leading to a citrus finish, and a nearly irresistible desire to take another sip.

Look for a light straw hue and bright aroma showing white flowers and sprightly tropical fruit. The palate is lightly sweet, with delicate pineapple, lychee and ginger fading into mouthwatering lemon peel and white peppercorn. Seems ready for mixing into tropical-inspired or summery cocktails.
Produced only in accordance with strict purity standards formulated by an 18th century European Parliament that guaranteed the absence of toxic distillation byproducts, the phrase “London Dry” on a bottle doesn't refer to any specific place of origin, age or ingredients. To be called a London Dry Gin, the base spirit must be distilled in a column still to at minimum, 70% abv. Natural botanicals can be added to the resulting neutral spirit only through re-distillation. Anything added after distillation other than water and a tiny amount of sugar disqualifies a Gin from the title, London Dry.
