The first release from the first nomadic gin distiller around, batch #1 of Amass Dry Gin was distilled and bottled in Downtown Los Angeles. Amass works with independent craft distillers to get their product to market, and used 29 botanicals — from dried to fresh — that are sourced from all over the globe. The gin is packaged in a handsome black bottle with a white label that details each and every one of the botanicals used in the distillation.

Inspired by and named for Dr. James Lind, who discovered that citrus fruits helped prevent scurvy in 1747, Lind & Lime Gin is made in the heart of Edinburgh, Scotland. The gin is the first distilled at The Port of Leith Distillery Co. and uses seven curated botanicals and a zesty, refreshing lime flavor. The spirit is presented in beautiful glass bottles whose design pays homage to French wine bottles that were traded at Leith harbor as far back as the mid to late 17th century.
Inspired by a rich English distilling heritage and his wife's African roots, Johnny Neill crafted this London Dry Gin using a unique blend of botanicals. Neill comes from a famous family of UK distillers, and the eighth generation gin maker uses a 100-year-old copper pot still to create his spirits. This handcrafted dry gin uses some traditional botanicals and some that are less common like Florentine Iris root from Italy to sharpen the citrus notes along with African botanicals like Physalis fruit and extracts from the Baobab Tree which is known as the Tree of Life.
Based in Finland, Kyrö is the world's northernmost gin and whiskey producing distillery. Koskue Barrel-Aged Gin is distilled using rye and botanicals that are locally sourced before aging the gin in American oak barrels for three months to absorb some vanilla and wood flavors. The distillers then "fine-tune" the blend with freshly distilled orange peel and black pepper. The spirit has won several international awards and is a favorite amongst whiskey fans.
Internationally known for whiskey, Suntory has also made gin since 1936. Their latest release is named Roku (Japanese for six) and highlights the six Japanese botanicals represented. Those six — cherry blossom, cherry leaves, green tea, refined green tea, Japanese pepper and yuzu — are blended with eight traditional botanicals to create a distinct flavor profile. The gin is packaged in a hexagonal bottle with Japanese calligraphy across the label to further represent the Japanese aesthetic.
The copper pot used to distill Crafters Aromatic Flower Gin has been hard at work for more than a century. And it's not only distilled this unique spirit, which employs 12 botanicals to round out the flavor profile, but it also inspired the copper-colored bottle that houses the Estonian-made gin. The liquid itself even takes on a gold color thanks to rose hip flower extract, and when presented in a cocktail its appearance is as attractive as its taste.

Each year, Hernö releases a special sipping gin aged in hand selected casks. And this year, the Swedish distiller opted for ex-Box whisky casks that previously held Sherry. The gin itself is the same award-winning recipe used in more Hernö Gins, but after 21 days in the cask, it takes on some unique flavor characteristics pulled from the cask. It's another hit from the distillery that has the most awarded gin in Europe for the last four years, garnering more than 50 international master and gold medals.
Known for distilling delicious Brandy in the heart of Bourbon country, Copper & Kings are expanding their expertise into the world of gin. Their American Old Tom Gin is a new release, distilled twice using 100% grape wine in American made alembic stills. The gin uses classic botanicals that are steeped in grape brandy low-wine before being re-distilled together with vapor distilled botanicals in the gin basket. It's a unique take on the spirit that is a perfect fit for the classic Ampersand cocktail.
To truly go the extra mile in their tribute to the greatest legends in motorcycle history, the premium dry gin known as The Archaeologist is including motorcycle parts in the gin itself. The historic bike parts are cleaned and sealed with a tin alloy to make them safe to mingle with the gin in each bottle. So the 1939 Harley-Davidson Flathead includes actual camshafts from that bike found in the Mexican desert. Other expressions in the line include 1947 screw-nuts from Chile and 1962 Panhead rocker arms from South Korea. Each bottle of gin is then packaged using selected cardboards printed on an original Heidelberg Tiegel printing press from 1931.
Any bottle of Gin is only as good as the botanicals within the recipe. They give it the aroma and flavor that separate the contenders from the pretenders. And that's what sets Fisher's Gin apart. This London Dry Gin is from the Suffolk coast and uses some traditional botanicals like juniper, cardamom, orange and lemon peels — along with some botanicals that are rare or thought by some to be extinct. The rarities are spignel, rock samphire, wood aven, and bog myrtle and they help give Fisher's its unique flavor and aroma.
For over 80 years, the Nikka brand has been known as one of the finest makers of Japanese whisky. And now, for the first time, Nikka is entering the world of white spirits with Nikka Coffey Gin.

A unique Gin from a trusted source that spirits fans will want to seek out.
It's time to load up your cooler and head to the beach. But if you're in the mood for a cocktail, all the necessary items don't travel very well. That's where Cutwater Canned Gin & Tonic comes in. It's made using Cutwater's Old Grove Gin and their house-made grapefruit cucumber tonic for a perfect pre-mixed blend. This classic drink gets a modern spin with fresh, citrusy flavors all packed into a convenient 12 ounce can that's great to take with you or just pop when you're too lazy to mix your own.
At a small distillery in Dornoch, Scotland they make gin the old-fashioned way, from scratch. They use fully floor malted barley fermented with brewers yeasts to create some truly unique gems. And their Experimental Batch Gin series shows off their talents, creating gins with loads of botanicals, some that have next to none, along with gins perfect for a gin and tonic while others are more suited for blending with ginger beer. To date, ten different experimental batches have been released, each with a different trait or flavor that makes it stand out.

There's one way to improve on the already popular Kirkjuvagr Gin from Orkney: distil a more potent version. Orkney Kirkjuvagr Arkh-Angell Gin is named after the fishing boat that belonged to the late father of one-half of the Orkney management team and is also a reference to its use of a locally grown variety of Norwegian angelica called Archangelica. It's bottled at 114 proof, a level of gravity commonly referred to as "navy strength" in the gin industry but cleverly dubbed "storm strength" by Orkney. Each bottle is hand numbered, and the batch is limited to 1000 bottles.
A cool, refreshing cocktail is the perfect answer to the question of what you will be drinking this weekend. And Uncle Val's Botanical Gin should be on your shortlist, featuring botanicals that are just as useful in the kitchen as they are in your gin and tonic. Juniper, Cucumber, Sage, Lemon, and Lavender form the foundation of this light, flavorful spirit which was inspired by the master distiller's Uncle Val's love of gardening and native Tuscan cuisine.
At Stonecutter Spirits in Middlebury, Vermont, barreling their spirits is more than an afterthought. For Stonecutter Single Barrel Gin, they made dozens of test batches before finding a recipe tailored for barreling. The gin then spends four to six months aging in ex-bourbon barrels while the juniper and citrus notes of the gin recipe mingle with the caramel and vanilla notes the barrel provides. When the perfect balance is achieved, the gin is bottled and ready to consume.
We all know that Gin is the backbone of plenty of great mixed drinks, but when you let it mature in Bourbon barrels, you give the already versatile spirit superpowers. Tommyrotter Cask Strength Bourbon-Barrel Gin was distilled just like the award-winning American Gin the Buffalo, NY distillery makes, featuring twelve flavorful botanicals. It was then aged in white American oak charred barrels before being bottled at 122 proof. No chill-filtration was used and each bottle was filled and labeled by hand at the distillery. Great as a mixer and even more interesting served over rocks.
The best gins on the market have the right mix of botanicals to give them a standout taste. That's the case with Isle Of Harris Gin, along with subtle coastal notes that come from hand-harvested Sugar kelp. Juniper, Coriander, Angelica Root, Orris Root, Cubebs, Bitter Orange Peel, Licorice and Cassia Bar round out the botanical list, and it's packaged in this beautiful, award winning bottle designed by the team at Stranger and Stranger.
Inspired from a mission to make the perfect cocktail gin, Vigilant Gin is a great looking new kid on the block in the gin industry. This London style dry gin employs hand-foraged Oregon juniper berries, citrus, and an herbal blend that helps balance it out nicely. Distilled in Washington, DC, it's worthy of a spot at your bar for the packaging alone, but makes a gin cocktail you can be proud of as well.
The distillers at Empire Spirits know that the first flavor you associate with gin is juniper. But they also want you to know that there's a lot more to gin than those traditional botanicals. Empire Spirits Project Smoked Gin is the first of its kind in the U.S. featuring applewood smoked juniper notes along with caraway and peppercorn. The result is a gin that pushes smoke to the forefront, while the botanicals smooth the spirit out to help make it a cocktail component like you've never had before.
While gin works best in cocktails, you might be surprised at how delicious barrel-aged gin can be when enjoyed neat or over ice. Koval Whiskey Barrel-Aged Gin is a great candidate, made using the same recipe as the distillery's dry gin. It's then placed in barrels that at one time held Koval whiskey for a full six months. The time in the barrel not only gives the spirit a nice, brown color, but also soothes the piney flavors that the dry gin exudes. Packaged in this beautiful bottle with intricate argyle die-cutting and bronze foil patterns.
It's tough to beat a refreshing gin cocktail during the summer. And this Bully Boy Gin from Boston, Massachusetts looks like a great choice for your home bar. It's an Estate Gin, which means it starts with a blend of neutral apple and grain. It's then distilled using Stormalong hard cider — another Massachusetts company. Then wild Juniperus virginiana and McIntosh apples are added, sourced from the family farm of the Bully Boy co-founders. Coriander and lemon are then added for an extra botanical punch that blends in perfectly in your next summer cocktail.
Gin is one of the most versatile spirits on the planet, and the folks at Pickering's put that reputation to the test with these limited edition Pickering's Oak Aged Gins. They traveled to source some of the best ex-Scotch whisky casks before bringing them home and filling them with their gin. Casks were chosen from each of the five Scotch regions — Highland, Islay, Island, Lowland, and Speyside. The different casks provide unique flavors and colors to the Pickerings' Gin, but with a yield of only 200 bottles per cask, they won't last long.
When you're searching for a new gin, sometimes the best packaging ends up coming home with you. Graton Distilling's Benham's Dry Gin not only boasts a great looking design from Stranger & Stranger, but is also a delicious gin worthy of your next cocktail. Crafted using 12 botanicals, Benham's is made using a classic juniper base along with locally grown citrus to balance out a classic yet modern approach.
Made with the classic French 75 cocktail in mind, Few Breakfast Gin proves that gin should have a spot at your next brunch. Few considered adding coffee to make this gin stand out, but instead went with Earl Grey tea, as it compliments the juniper and citrus flavors of the gin. While the idea for a Breakfast Gin started off as a bit of a joke around the distillery, no one is laughing now at this perfect cocktail companion.
For centuries, the Mulberry tree has lined English countrysides. The fruit from the tree has also been a fixture in Mulberry Gin, a lower ABV liquor commonly used in punches and cocktails. Boodles Mulberry Gin pays homage to those traditions, with a fresh take on the classic drink. It's a sweet sipper, with mulberries, raspberry, and currant flavors. It's the first mulberry gin to be made available stateside, and can be enjoyed over ice or in a punch for your next cold weather gathering.
While Scotland is known for other spirits, you might be surprised by some of their white spirits as well, like this Edinburgh Small Batch Gin. And while it is distilled in Scotland, the style is a perfect example of a London Dry style gin. Created using a blend of 13 botanicals, including native heather, milk thistle and pine, this small batch gin has taken home several awards and is a great choice for your next cocktail.
