Native to the coastal dunes of the northeastern United States, beach plums have been used for generations to create preserves and jams. Close relatives to sloe berries and damson plums, beach plums have a high pit-to-flesh ratio, resulting in an intensely tart and astringent fruit. While farmers have succeeded in domesticating most Northeastern fruit such as cranberries and Concord grapes, beach plums have defied attempts at commercial production. Incredibly sensitive to climate and elevation, beach plums are a finicky fruit they require low-lying sandy soils to grow and nearly two years to mature.Steven DeAngelo, master distiller at Greenhook Ginsmiths in Brooklyn, came across a few farmers in New York who had wild beach plums growing on their estates. "I wanted to make a traditional sloe gin,"he says, but when he came across the beach plums, he decided to put a Yankee spin on the traditionally English spirit. "I think I bought every beach plum on Long Island,"he quips.He begins the process by distilling a gin with traditional botanicals juniper berries from Tuscany, organic chamomile, organic elderflower, blue ginger, orris root and Ceylon cinnamon. His custom-made, 300 liter copper alembic still is outfitted with a specially-designed mercury vacuum, allowing him to reduce the atmospheric pressure in his still during distillation. As a result, DeAngelo is able to distill his gin at lower temperatures (nearly 40 degrees lower!) than traditional ginsmiths, resulting in a cleaner, more pristine spirit that captures the raw integrity of the botanicals.After distillation, he steeps the entire beach plum pit and all in the gin for approximately seven months. Following maceration, he adds a touch of organic cane sugar before filtering the gin and labeling each bottle by hand.With roughly a pound of beach plums per bottle, the result is a fruity, bittersweet gin the beach plums intense, assertive flavors play against the juniper, coriander, elderflower and chamomile used to create the gin. The result is a gin with a tart, sour cherry nose and notes of bittersweet fruit that give way to a long, dry finish with hints of spicy coriander, chamomile and bitter almonds."I wanted to focus a little bit more on the underlying gin," says DeAngelo. "I didnt want to just make it sweet like a lot of fruit liqueurs. I wanted to have a gin liqueur where you could actually taste the gin. Its about the harmony of the fruit with the gin."Infinitely complex yet harmonious, Greenhook Ginsmiths Beach Plum Gin Liqueur is the worlds first commercial Beach Plum Gin Liqueur.

Old Tom Gins first became popular in 18th century London. The gins were made to be slightly sweeter than London Dry Gins and slightly drier than Dutch Jenevers, and were often considered to be the "missing link" in the gin industry. The name of the gin is derived from black cats (the "Old Toms") that were often mounted on the wall of British pubs centuries ago. Pedestrians walking past the pub could deposit a coin under the cats paw without ever entering the building. The bartender would collect the coin and in exchange, pour a shot of gin to the customer.Greenhook Ginsmiths Old Tom Gin is a bold and crisp gin born in the heart of Brooklyn. The gin is made from a backbone of pot-distilled grains, which are distilled with juniper and other exotic spices inspired by the British spice trade that prevailed during the 18th century. After the gin has been distilled, it is matured for 12 months in casks that were previously used to mature bourbon. Then, master distiller Steven DeAngelo finishes the gin in ex-Oloroso Sherry butts before bringing it to 100.1 proof, where it is bottled.Greenhook Ginsmiths Old Tom Gin has bold notes of earthy spices, oak tannins, juniper and pine. The finish is crisp yet lasting, with touches of citrus, oak, fruits and red wine.Pick up a bottle today!

No spirits was formed in 2015 by Anand Virmani and Vaibhav Singh, when the two friends from Delhi, India felt like the gin renaissance wasnt hitting the country with the same force as it did the rest of the world. The two bar owners felt that the country where gin and tonic was invented needed to step up and they decided to take matters into their own hands. They procured a copper pot still, named it Agotha, and started experimenting with various spices, herbs, and fruits.Many of the classic gin botanicals are commonly found in Indias home kitchens, making at least one step of the process a bit easier as the pair meticulously distilled, tasted, and tested their way towards crafting the perfect gin. Starting with a wheat-based neutral spirit, they crafted their very first gin. A classic London dry style, this gin is made with Macedonian juniper berries, Spanish orange peels, Italian orris, and German angelica. The rest of the botanicals all come from India and include fennel seeds, lemongrass, coriander, ginger, and chamomile.Whats better than gin? Two gins, of course. The Hapusa is the Sanskrit word for juniper. Its also "the worlds first Himalayan dry gin". Its crafted with Himalayan junipers and several unique botanicals that are native to India: Turmeric, mango, ginger, cardamom, coriander seeds, gondhoraj lime, and almonds. While Greater Than is an international spirit, Hapusa is 100 percent Indian. Pick a bottle up today!

William Grant and Sons in launched the Hendricks Dry Gin in 1999 as an addition to the portfolio of spirits and brands produced at the Girvan Distillery in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Thus it is famously known as The Scottish Gin. The Hendricks line was a nearly instantaneous success due to its unique flavor profile. That profile is achieved principally through two factors the botanical mix and the distillation technique. In addition to the traditional infusions of juniper and citrus, Hendricks signature botanicals include cucumber and Belgian rose. Distillation is completed in two parts. First the spirit is purified in an antique Carter-Head still which yields a very high initial proof. For the second distillation, the botanicals are added and allowed to steep for 24 hours. Then they are distilled in a small, Bennett pot still which maintains a high proof while allowing the heavier spirits and esters to pass through. This yields a heavier spirits with a desirable oily mouthfeel.

Distilled above an ancient underground water source, Highclere Castle Gin is produced in Englands oldest gin distillery in one of the oldest working copper gin stills dating back to the 1800s.This recipe was carefully developed over two years, after experimenting with several botanicals homegrown on the Highclere estate this meticulous selection of ingredients was chosen for the recipe that includes the extraction of essential oils, which in the presence of alcohol gives Highclere Castle Gin its uniquely smooth character.At the beginning of the distillation process, the botanicals are slowly added to the still, along with a charge of spirits. After the lid is closed the steam jacket gently warms the still. This warming process allows the botanicals to begin releasing their oils for distillation and this process of maceration continues overnight. The following morning, the stills are heated to a higher temperature, making the charge boil. A boiling process turns the liquid into vapor, which evaporates to the swan neck and water-cooled condenser, creating the liquid. The distillate is separated out into three parts; heads, hearts and tails. Only the heart section is used in the Highclere gin-making process; the most subtle and refined of the aromas and flavors are given off during the distillation.The resultant high proof liquid is blended with water to precisely 43.5 percent ABV for maximum flavor. Known as "the real Downton Abbey," Highclere Castle distilled this award-winning London Dry Gin to have an exceptionally smooth flavor profile which comes from ingredients like lavender, which was planted by the Bishops of Winchester in the 9th century, and citrus from the Victorian-era orangery and juniper that has grown wild at Highclere since Roman times. Highclere Castle Gin earned gold awards from both Critics Challenge and Proof awards, receiving a score of 94. Pick up your bottle today!

In 2001, Christian Jensen was forced to relocate from London to Tokyo for his job at an investment bank. After a particularly difficult day of work at the bank, Jensen stumbled into one of Tokyos legendary hidden bars. The bar, which was comprised of only a tiny room with a stunning view, was tended to by Oda-San, a barkeeper whose knowledge of cocktails and spirits was a relic of the past. There, Jensen sampled a London Dry Gin with a sublime flavor and smooth finish that stunned him.When Jensen returned to England, he began researching the gin and found that it was no longer made. In the hopes of recreating it, Jensen scoured the public records offices of London, and was able to find a few documents related to the distillery that had originally produced it. While scouring this cache of documents, Jensen discovered a recipe for his beloved gin. Armed with a photograph of the exact recipe in hand, Jensen teamed up with master distiller Charles Maxwell and began experimenting with the recipe he found. "After 10-15 trial distillations, we ended up with a gin I really liked, and was faithful to the original," says Jensen. .Jensens London Distilled Old Tim Gin is crafted using a recipe that harkens back to the 1840s. The term "Old Tom" was an early nickname for gin and generally refers to gins that were produced in the early 20th century, when sugar was added to gin in order to create a sweeter flavor profile. The recipe that Jensen discovered, however, predates the use of sugar in gin and calls for additional botanicals to be added in order to create a slightly sweeter flavor profile.As a result of this unique, century-old recipe, Jensens Old Tom Gin has an aroma of mint, eucalyptus, pine needles and citrus that gives way to slightly sweet notes of licorice, almonds and orange peel on the palate. The finish is smooth and slightly tangy, with a touch of piney juniper.The gin earned 4.5 stars from the Diffords Guide, and the Silver Medal at the International Spirits Challenge.Pick up a bottle of each today!

Only one ship returned, with it several barrels of cloves; a key botanical in Magellan Gin.Distilled at the Angeac Distillery in Cognac France, Magellan Gin is crafted using 11 natural botanicals from around the globe. First the wheat grain is fermented with local limestone-filtered spring waterThe water is demineralized to avoid changing the flavor profile of the botanicals. The mash is triple distilled and fresh, hand-picked botanicals are added before the blend is redistilled a fourth time.
