Process & Profile

Brooklyn Handcrafted Small Batch Gin is a vibrant craft spirit that embodies meticulous craftsmanship and dedication. This gin is distilled in small batches at the Warwick Valley Winery and Distillery in New York, using a Christian Carl copper pot still. The base spirit is made from 100% American corn, giving the gin a smooth and clean foundation. The standout feature of Brooklyn Gin is its use of 100% fresh citrus peels and hand-cracked juniper berries. Unlike many distillers who rely on frozen or dried peels, Brooklyn Gin ensures the most vibrant flavors by hand-cutting citrus fruits to release their essential oils, creating a unique and fresh profile.

Brooklyn Gin's flavor is a symphony of citrus and botanicals. Here's what to expect:
  • Nose: Bright aromas of fresh lime, sweet orange, and lemon, with a subtle floral hint of lavender and spice notes.

This attention to detail has garnered Brooklyn Gin several prestigious accolades, including double gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the New York World Wine & Spirits Competition in 2015 and 2016. The gin's approachable style makes it perfect for both gin connoisseurs and those new to the spirit.
