Reviews
“The resulting artisanal gin, No. 209, has an alluring citric perfume, thanks to an infusion of bergamot peel along with more typical spices like juniper.”
- – New York Times
“Superb (90-95)/Highly recommended: The nosing passes find generous notes of citrus zest, juniper berry, orris root, licorice, coriander and angelica. The palate entry is bittersweet, intensely grainy and speckled with licorice and orris root; at midpalate the flavor turns delightfully herbal. Finish is decidedly herbal/leafy/seed-like and, finally, bittersweet. An adult gin with an adventurous attitude.”
- – Wine Enthusiast, Paul Pacult
“It’s a subtle, well-considered gin that makes a sophisticated cocktail.”
- – LA Times, Charles Perry
“No. 209 Gin has formulated what it believes to be the first Kosher-for-Passover Gin…The resulting gin?...more subtle herbal aromas and more evident warm spice flavors. Different, but only slightly.”
- – San Francisco Chronicle, Jon Bonne
“Highest rating.”
