Distilled Dry Gin Bacur owes its unique character to the botanicals used to produce it. Juniper berries, sage leaves and lemon zest are left to macerate in a solution of water and alcohol for a long time; after that, double distillation takes place, clearing the liquid from possible unwanted hints and leading to an elegant distillate with a fine, clean bouquet. The final features of this Gin are deeply related to its components, and its quality and complexity depend not only on the quantity of plants used, but also on the conditions in which aromatic compounds are extracted from each of them. - Producer's notes

Empress 1908 is a Canadian gin made in British Columbia. It uses eight organic botanicals, one of which is butterfly pea blossom, which gives the gin a vivid indigo blue color. However, when citrus or tonic is added to the gin, the color turns from indigo to a soft pink. The palate is citrusy with noticeable grapefruit notes. While a unique product, it is also an excellent gin. Gluton free.

Often considered the missing link between Dutch Genevers and modern dry gins, Old Tom Gin was the prevalent style of Gin in 18th century England. In their quest to recreate this historical, full-bodied expression, Greenhook has crafted this special, overproof bottling from pot distilled corn, juniper, and botanicals inspired by the spice trade of the prevailing time period. Aged for one year in bourbon casks before being finished in Oloroso sherry casks. Works excellently for an Old Fashioned. 50.1% abv.

Medium length finish that is elegant and classic. Hepple Gin is one of the best classic gins I've tried this year. - The Gin is In

Plymouth gin has been produced in its Plymouth England distillery since 1793. Due to a higher than usual proportion of root ingredients it has perhaps a more 'earthy' feel on the palate as well as a softened juniper flavor. Double Gold - San Francisco World Spirits Competition

Nose: Intensely, and sweetly camphorous with slight vanilla nuance. While piercing and medicinal at first, heavier herbal notes and a hint of spice give it some roundness and depth.

Flavor: Extraordinarily loud and pronounced - an absolutely vivid palate. Sweet, cooling vanilla kissed mint eases into strong sage, basil leaf, camphor - suggestive of herbes de provence. Wet sagebrush and green lavender comes through later, giving way to some darker botanicals. Pine, oily rosemary and a hit of cardamom towards the end.

Finish: Quite long with menthol, herbal coolness and a kiss of vanilla. - The Gin is In

Though the formula is a secret, the botanicals in the perennially popular Tanqueray are thought to be just four juniper, coriander seed, angelica root and liqourice. The lack of a citrus botanical makes it slightly drier that some other gins. According to company lore, it was Frank Sinatra’s favorite gin.
