Greenhook's vacuum-distilled gin captures botanical freshness with unusual precision. The chamomile note is the distinguishing feature — it softens the juniper without diluting it, creating a gin that works beautifully in a Martini but also holds its own in more complex cocktails. Craft American gin at its most thoughtful.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Bright and piney juniper opens immediately, followed by chamomile and elderflower notes that give it a distinctive softness. Coriander and fresh lemon zest add a citrus-forward lift. Underneath, there is a subtle orris root earthiness.

Palate

Clean and well-structured. Juniper stays dominant through the palate, supported by a spicy coriander kick and a gentle ginger warmth. The chamomile influence is more pronounced here, adding a floral-herbal layer that sets it apart from classic London Drys. A touch of cassia bark adds depth.

Finish

Medium, with lingering pine juniper and a peppery spice trail. The chamomile returns softly at the very end.

The Story

Founded in 2012 in a Greenpoint, Brooklyn warehouse, Greenhook Ginsmiths uses a custom vacuum still to distill botanicals at lower temperatures, preserving the delicate aromatics that conventional distillation can strip away.

Isle of Raasay

Isle of Raasay Hebridean Gin is a study in clarity through constraint — a tight botanical bill drawn from the island's own terrain, distilled with disciplined intent.

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.
