Perfume Trees Gin
Perfume Trees · Two Moons Distillery
Named for the Aglaia trees that once blanketed Hong Kong's hillsides, Perfume Trees Gin channels East Asian botanicals through an unmistakably London Dry framework. The result is precise, aromatic, and deeply refreshing. It bridges traditions without losing identity.
Nose
Juniper leads confidently but quickly makes room for a burst of grapefruit peel and delicate floral notes. An undercurrent of ginger and warm cassia bark adds aromatic depth.
Palate
Silky entry with a bright citrus-forward profile — lemon zest and grapefruit intertwine with herbaceous juniper. Midpalate, the floral rose character blooms alongside angelica root and a flash of white pepper.
Finish
Clean and moderately long, with juniper and ginger warmth persisting as the florals gently recede.

Ron Zacapa Edición Negra
Ron Zacapa
Edición Negra takes Zacapa's high-altitude solera system and pushes it toward heavier charred casks, producing a darker, more brooding rum than its siblings. The result is a spirit that trades some of the Centenario 23's honeyed charm for genuine complexity and a savory edge. Whether you sip it neat or pair it with a robust dessert, this is rum built for contemplation.
Michter's 10 Year Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Michter's
Michter's 10 Year exemplifies the discipline of selecting barrels that can handle a full decade without tipping into over-oaked bitterness. This is bourbon that rewards slow sipping — each minute in the glass unlocks new layers. A benchmark for what extended aging should accomplish in Kentucky whiskey.
Don Pilar Añejo Tequila
Don Pilar
Don Pilar's Añejo delivers genuine agave character that has been shaped, not masked, by eighteen months in oak. This is añejo the way it should be done — the wood serves the spirit, not the other way around. At its price point, it competes well above its weight class, offering depth and balance that many pricier añejos struggle to achieve.
Jensen's Old Tom London Gin
Jensen's
Christian Jensen spent years researching nineteenth-century recipes to reconstruct an authentic Old Tom profile. The result is not a novelty — it is a genuine revival, offering a window into what gin tasted like before London Dry became the dominant style. Essential for anyone building a historically informed Martinez or Tom Collins.

Craft Distillery Koval Dry Gin
Koval
Koval's dry gin is a study in midwestern directness — no gimmicks, no exotic botanicals chasing trends. The organic grain base is clean enough to let the botanicals do their work, and the distillation is precise enough to keep everything in balance. A gin for people who want gin to taste like gin.
Daffy's Gin
Daffy's
Daffy's is the rare gin that achieves intensity without volume. Every botanical is clearly articulated yet none dominates. The tension between the pine-forward juniper and the delicate floral-citrus backdrop makes this an excellent Martini gin that also holds its own in longer serves.
Hepple Gin
Hepple
Hepple's unique triple-technique juniper extraction — combining copper pot distillation, vacuum distillation, and supercritical CO2 extraction — produces a gin where juniper is explored in three dimensions rather than one. It's technically innovative without being gimmicky, delivering a deeply juniper-forward spirit that respects London Dry traditions while pushing them forward. Essential for gin enthusiasts seeking complexity.
