Elysian Fields Lavender Gin

Colored naturally with butterfly pea flower, our Elysian Fields Lavender has a magical color changing property when it's mixed with citrus. It’s made with local Long Island lavender and honey.

Flavor profile: prevalent and pleasant lavender across the palette, citrus on the front, spice on the back, and honey on the tail end to smooth it all out.

Traditional gin botanicals provide the foundation for the lavender and honey notes, and combined with the beautiful color of butterfly pea flower, this spirit appeals to all the senses.

The lavender note is prevalent and present, and offers a unique alternative in most traditional gin cocktails. With the booming at-home cocktail trend, this gin allows people to make cocktails on their own that look and taste like bar quality cocktails no matter what their experience with cocktail making is.

Bimini Coconut Gin

As with each of the other line extensions, it starts with the original Bimini Gin.

The coconut flavor is introduced to the original gin without the use of any flavor extracts. Instead, they use organic Fair Trade Certified Extra Virgin coconut oil in a process know as â€ufat washing.” The oil is heated to a liquid state and combined with their original gin to infuse it with pure coconut flavor. After the infusion has completed, the mixture is chilled until the oils solidify and can be strained back out. The result is a subtle, natural coconut aroma and flavor in perfect harmony with their other botanicals.

Botanicals: Juniper, Grapefruit Peel, Mt. Hood Hops Aromatic Barley Malt, Coriander Seed, Chamomile, Orris Root

Bimini Gin

A unique, modern American gin specially formulated with a softer juniper flavor. Bimini Gin earned a Double Gold Medal at the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and was awarded 93 points by Wine Enthusiast. Inspired by summertime on the coast, bottled to make it last all year, Bimini is a modern gin with crisp, refreshing flavors and a clean, smooth finish. Fruity and floral juniper is assertive upfront, but a non-traditional distillation process minimizes the resinous pine notes on the finish. Combining this softer juniper flavor with bright citrus notes from grapefruit, hops, and coriander, Bimini Gin is formulated to be both distinct and approachable. Botanicals: Juniper, Grapefruit Peel, Mt. Hood Hops Aromatic Barley Malt, Coriander Seed, Chamomile, Orris Root

Acadia Gin

Whether it’s sharing conversations over drinks or exploring the rich history of our native land, our creations are fueled by the threads that connect us. One of North America’s only indigenous fruits, wild Maine blueberries stand out for their distinctive flavor and abundance. They have naturally adapted to Maine’s unique climate and cover the coast of Acadia National Park. One sip of Acadia Gin connects a short path between you and the majestic taste of Maine.

Unfiltered for elevated flavor.

History
Acadia Gin was inspired by the wild juniper and blueberries that line the coast of Acadia National Park in Maine. Co-Founders Jackson and Zack are from Mount Dessert Island, and this spirit captures the essence of summers they enjoyed growing up on the island.

How it’s made
Acadia Gin is first crafted using a blend of Juniper, orris root, coriander, lemongrass, lavender, and eucalyptus. Sound familiar? These are most of the same botanicals found in our flagship Gin. The difference is that we dial back the amount of lavender and eucalyptus used, and creating a less floral result. We also add orris root to help bring out the blueberry notes. We then soak wild Maine blueberries into the gin for 10 days, remove the blueberries and proof the spirit. Voila, Acadia Gin is here!

Support Local
The wild Maine blueberries used to make Summer Gin are sourced from Blue Sky Produce, who pick their blueberries from 8 different small growers around Maine. As Blue Sky quotes, “supporting small growers enables them to stay in business and to continue being good stewards of their land.”

Why is there sediment in my bottle?
We do not chill-filter any of our spirits. This means they have the full flavor and mouthfeel of their class. As a result, Acadia Gin will occasionally exude a cloudy or hazy appearance, or sediment may be visible. Have no fear, this is completely natural.

Principle De Los Apostoles Mate Gin

Wildly different from the classic winter flavors of the classic London Dry Gin, Principe de los Apostoles Mate Gin offers a unique tropical and warm flavor profile. Crafted with yerba mate, a traditional Argentinian botanical from the Misiones region, this gin honors the centuries-long tradition of Guaraní people harvesting the native plant., each botanical, including pink grapefruit, coriander, and eucalyptus, are macerated separately for 24 hours in a wheat alcohol base in stainless steel containers. Only the peppermint is left to macerate for just 2 hours. The blend is then distilled in small, German copper stills in the Sol do Los Andes gin and grappa distillery in Mendoza, Argentina. A velvety, smooth and creamy gin with flavors of chocolate and fresh herbs, it's bold enough to stand up beautifully in a cocktail like Negroni.


Tasting Notes

Spicy and herbal nose with coriander, eucalyptus and mint aromas. The palate is warm, velvety and oily with chocolate flavors, eucalyptus and peppermint prevailing. The finish is long, cool, and minty.

New England Distilling Ingenium Dry Gin

Ingenium (in·gē·ne·əm) n. the engine of natural creativity that comes from observation and imagination.

Ingenium is a Genever styled gin, distilled from a mash of local barley and rye in our direct fired pot stills.  Pot distillation retains the flavors of the grain giving Ingenium a mouthfeel reminiscent of whiskey.  The botanicals are a blend of traditional and non traditional gin botanicals, including kaffir lime leaf, rose flower and lemongrass.  The combination of which creates a nicely balanced, citrusy, herbal gin with a very smooth finish.

Portofino Dry Gin

Portofino Dry Gin’s initial notes are from fresh lemon and crisp juniper that transport us to the hills of Portofino. They give way to a universe of Mediterranean flavors: from the rosemary and lavender perfumes of the coastal scrub to the sweet and delicate notes of marjoram and sage that evoke the taste of traditional Ligurian cousine.

Their botanicals are grown nestled on the Ligurian coast, the region’s unique micro climate that allows for a lush Mediterranean vegetation to grow all year-round. Lemons, lavender, rosemary, marjoram, sage, iris and rose are organically grown and combined with locally handpicked ingredients to complete our gin’s secret recipe.
