Distillery No. 209 Kosher-for-Passover Gin
Modern Gin
Distillery No. 209 // California, USA
Certified by the Orthodox Union, who oversaw the entire production process, Distillery No. 209 Kosher-for-Passover Gin begins as a neutral spirit base (aka vodka) distilled from sugarcane. The secret blend of botanicals includes juniper, orange peel, lemon peel, cassia bark, angelica root, and coriander seeds.
The distillery typically includes cardamom in their gin recipes but here they swapped it out for bay leaves sourced from Mt. Veeder in Napa Valley. It's bottled at 46% ABV.

Tasting Notes
"The sugarcane base creates a spirit with a higher perception of sweetness than most gins including Distillery No. 209’s flagship. In keeping with their house style, juniper elements are played down in favor of highlighting citrus, fresh coriander, and the welcome but uncommon savory flavor of bay leaf and a lingering finish of spicy cinnamon candy. The combined flavors are pleasant, but a bit subtle and would be a good recommendation for fans of New Western gin."
