Ransom Spirits // Oregon, USA
Distilled in Oregon, this dry gin begins with mashbill of malted barley and rye producing a "malt wine". The botanicals are infused in a corn-based spirit.
The gin is distilled in a 10-hecotoliter direct-fire pot-still and was inspired by Holland's genevers thought it is more a hybrid of that style and American dry gins. Notable botanicals include caraway, anise, Oregon Marionberries, and local hops.

Tasting Notes
"You definitely can see the inspiration from Holland genever on the nose, but perhaps there is more of a new make whiskey aroma than genever. The spices are king in this gin, particularly the coriander and cardamom. There's a bit of alcohol heat on the finish that seems a touch out of balance with the gin. The finish leans on those spices and bitter roots and finishes dry. The dollop of hops makes this a gin to serve neat with a beer on the side which is also what many do with genever. This is called a "Kopstoot" in Holland."
