JUNIPER

Origin: Italy

Flavor: Sweet cider

Besides legally necessary to be the predominate flavor in gin, this strong-flavored fruit is from the juniper evergreen. Balancing the strength of the juniper flavor between predominate and overwhelming is key to producing a great gin. The heavy juniper in gins of the past often is the cause of the negative attitude some people have towards the spirit. By using only the finest Italian juniper berries in the correct proportion to our other botanicals we ensure that the sweet subtle cedar-like notes of juniper in No. 209 Gin are subtle and approachable.
