Terroir Gin

• New Western gin produced by St. George Spirits in Alameda, California
• Base of neutral spirit made from non-GMO grain
• 12 botanicals include local Douglas fir, California bay laurel, coriander, angelica root, orris root, lemon peel, Seville orange peel, sage, Saigon cinnamon, cardamom, fennel seed, and juniper
• Fir and sage are distilled separately from the other botanicals and blended to adjust for seasonal variation
• Bay laurel and juniper are vapor distilled via basket
• Coriander is wok-roasted and combined with the remaining botanicals that are then macerated and distilled directly in the pot of St. George’s copper pot still
• Aromas of lemon and orange zest, lemon verbena, and pine resin amplify on the palate, evoking damp forest floor complemented by savory sage and bay laurel with lingering pine needle on the finish
• 45% ABV

Created to convey the California wilderness, St. George Terroir Gin coalesces around a juniper backbone but focuses on botanicals specific to The Golden State—including Douglass fir harvested seasonally in Mendocino to help fire abatement— resulting in an earthy and woodsy gin that brings distinct character to cocktails both classic and modern.
