Junipero Gin 750ML

Junipero Gin

“Junipero Gin is made by hand in the classic distilled dry gin tradition, utilizing more than a dozen botanicals in their natural state, in a small copper pot still at our little distillery on Potrero Hill in San Francisco. The history of gin goes back at least to the mid-1600s in Holland, but its true antecedents are much earlier, those first experiments in the ancient and mysterious art of distilling in the presence of herbs and spices. The predominant flavor and aroma of a modern gin will always come from juniper (dried berries of the common juniper, Juniperus communis). But the wonderful challenge for the distiller is in selecting and blending from a wide variety of additional, exotic botanicals in order to impart a uniquely satisfying, balanced character to his gin. At Anchor Distilling we have taken delight in the adventure of researching and experimenting with many such botanicals. Our final formula must remain a secret, but we hope you will agree that we have achieved a distinctive, intriguing complexity in our Junpero Gin: light and crisp and clean, combining a deep and mysterious spiciness with subtle delicacy.” -Producer

“Clear. Well integrated aromas of lemon frosted pound cake, pine bark, and black pepper with silky dry-yet-fruity medium body and a penetrating, warming, and pure juniper, chili pepper, spicy custard, sweet grain and slate accented finish. Elegantly vibrant and bold; will pop brilliantly in cocktails.”
