Brooklyn Gin

Brooklyn Gin is New York's answer to sunshine in a glass - hand-peeled citrus, crushed juniper and a small-batch pace that owes nothing to mass production. It was born from two friends who wanted a gin better than anything they could find on the shelf.
  • Bottle of Brooklyn Gin Small Batch from the USA
    Item no.: 2222786539-6028

    Instead of the dried citrus peel many gin producers rely on, Brooklyn Gin hand-cuts its lemon, lime, orange and clementine right before distillation, to preserve all the juiciness.

    Expert's description

    Brooklyn Gin Small Batch is an American gin from Brooklyn, bottled at 40%.

    The gin uses eleven botanicals, five of which are locally sourced citrus peels: lemon, lime, orange and clementine, hand-cut fresh rather than dried or frozen.

    Alongside the citrus peels, lavender and cocoa nibs are used, giving the gin its characteristic round depth.

    By avoiding dried citrus peel, which can produce dull and flat flavours, as well as artificial aromas, the distillery ensures a fresh, vivid citrus character in every batch.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose offers bright fresh lime, sweet orange and lemon with a subtle floral hint of lavender and spice.

    Palate

    The palate opens citrus-forward and bright, followed by a clean, piney juniper core.

    Finish

    The finish is clean and slightly spicy, thanks to the hand-cracked juniper berries.

About Brooklyn Gin

Brooklyn Gin is distilled in small batches in the heart of Brooklyn and has quickly become known as one of the most citrus-driven gins around. The trick is simple but labour-intensive: the citrus peel is cut by hand and added after distillation, so the fresh oil from the peel never gets a chance to evaporate. For the curious gin drinker, Brooklyn Gin is a lesson in how American craft thinking can reinvent a classic London Dry style without copying it.

History & Background

Brooklyn Gin was founded by Emil Jattne and Joe Santos, two friends who shared a frustration that no gin on the market tasted quite right to them. They began experimenting in small quantities and landed on a recipe where fresh citrus takes the lead role rather than a supporting one. The name is a tribute to the borough where the distillery is still based, and where gin culture is thriving today.

Production & Style

The gin's base is neutral grain spirit, redistilled with juniper and a set of classic botanicals, after which hand-peeled citrus - typically orange and lemon - is added post-distillation. That gives a fresh, oily citrus character that would otherwise be lost if the peel were boiled alongside the other botanicals.

Signature Style

Citrus-fresh, Spicy, Vibrant
The gin opens with a wave of fresh orange and lemon peel, moves into spicy juniper and coriander seed, and finishes vibrant with a light peppery edge.
