Brooklyn gin (not to be confused with Breuckelen gin – but that’s another legal battle) is made by Joe Santos, an ex-Bacardi marketer who grew up in New Jersey. He makes his gin with 11 botanicals, 5 of them fresh citrus peels, at Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery in Warwick, New York State.
The 11 botanicals: Juniper, lavender, cocoa nibs, coriander, orris root, angelica root, Eureka lemon, Persian lime, Key lime, Navel orange and kumquat.
Review and Tasting
Sampled on 22/02/2016
Appearance:
Crystal clear.
Aroma:
Pungent zesty citrus – particularly lime, with Indian curry spice notes and faint lavender. Juniper is fairly subdued. Water amplifies citrus zestiness.
Taste:
Orange zest leads with black pepper spice, fresh celery, mild piney juniper and cereal-like, faintly nutty notes.
Aftertaste:
Piney juniper, black pepper spiced finish.
Overall:
A very clean citrus zesty and spicy American gin with moderate juniper influence.
