Distillerie de Paris Batch No. 2 Gin
Distillerie de Paris · Distillerie de Paris
Parisian craft distilling applied to gin with restraint and intelligence. The binding agent is balance—each botanical contributes without competing, creating a gin that feels like a conversation rather than a monologue. Exceptional in a Martini, where its floral-citrus architecture has room to breathe.
Nose
Juniper leads firmly but is quickly joined by bright citrus—lemon peel and bergamot. Floral rose and orris root provide an elegant backbone, with a whisper of coriander seed and pink peppercorn finishing the bouquet.
Palate
Medium weight with a satiny texture. Juniper remains present but lets citrus and floral notes share the stage. The mid-palate introduces a gentle angelica root bitterness and a touch of ginger warmth. Beautifully integrated, with no single botanical dominating.
Finish
Clean and moderately long, with lingering lemon verbena and a soft peppery warmth.

New Riff Distilling Kentucky Wild Gin
New Riff Distilling
New Riff's Kentucky Wild Gin is a beautifully aerated spirit—distilled with a thoughtful openness to the botanicals' natural character. It's proof that a whiskey-focused distillery can channel that same reverence for terroir and process into a gin of real poise and clarity. A versatile, sippable gin that breathes Kentucky air.
Cadenhead's Old Raj Dry Gin
Cadenhead's
Old Raj is a gin of rare character—the saffron infusion turns a classic juniper-forward profile into something genuinely singular, perfect for the waning warmth of November. Its navy strength makes it a commanding presence in cocktails or neat, and its Scottish provenance from one of the oldest independent bottlers in the world lends quiet authority. A gin that feels like the last golden light before winter.
Ford's Gin Officers' Reserve Navy Strength Gin
Ford's Gin
Officers' Reserve is the rare navy strength gin that earns its extra proof through genuine complexity rather than brute force. The brief Oloroso sherry cask rest is a masterclass in restraint—adding just enough richness to elevate the classic Ford's botanical profile without obscuring it. A gin that rewards trust in the process, and in the craft of blending tradition with innovation.
Bareksten Botanical Norwegian Gin
Bareksten
Bareksten is a masterclass in how grain character and botanical architecture can work in tandem to create directional texture—each sip reveals a new layer without losing its compass heading. It's serious enough for contemplative sipping yet structured enough to anchor any cocktail. A quiet Nordic powerhouse that rewards patience and attention.
