209 GIN 1 Litre Bottle

Registered Distillery No. 209 was established in St. Helena, California in 1882. It was the 209th Distillery permitted in the United States, hence our name. It was recreated in 2005 with a new product on the piers of San Francisco. The all natural botanicals are sourced from around the world by our English purveyor, Joseph Flack amp Company, coincidentally also established in 1882. They go to significant lengths selecting botanicals that reflect our quest for quality to achieve the smoothness and unique taste of this beautifully crafted product, a new 39standard39 in gin. The notes of juniper Tuscany, the warmth of coriander Romania, the lemony undertones of cardamom Guatemala, the cinnamon aromas of cassia Indonesia, and bergamot orange Calabria provide the delightful citrus elements within the structure of this complex gin. These are but a few of the natural botanicals that go into crafting No. 209 Gin. Our natural botanicals source from four continents creating the best gin in the world. The botanicals maturate in the alambic pot still overnight. The slow soaking eases the natural flavorings from the botanicals so the gin is bright never bitter. Each distillation takes 11 hours, not including the maturation process. No. 209 Gin is five times distilled with exacting care given to separating the heads and tails from the heart of the distillation. Only the heart isused. Each batch is handcrafted using the 39Single Shot39 method, which is quite different from the continuously distilled gins on the market today. Indeed a 39New Standard39 in gin, the finest gin in the world. No. 209 Gin. The Botanicals Angelica Abundant in Iceland, Angelica39s flavor is delicate and sweet reminiscent of celery.
