Saratoga Fenimore Gin

Product Story

First and foremost — this is a charming and tasty Gin that engages your olfactory and your taste buds in the most pleasing way. Isn't that the point? This lovely Gin is crafted with the vapor method allowing a basket with their 13 botanicals to hang above the hot vapors made while distilling. The botanicals include the essential juniper and the common citrus peel along with eucalyptus, chamomile, star anise, and mallow root. The botanicals play together ideally never competing while the mallow root may be the star of the show as it appears on the nose and palate and seems to bond the other flavors. Cooperstown Distillery — the creators of this Gin, will tell you that the spring water from Saratoga, NY is the secret ingredient and who are we to argue.

Tasting Note

Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is wonderfully aromatic with bold and fresh scents of chamomile and juniper in the lead with supporting accents of orange peel, anise, and hints of marshmallow. The palate echoes the nose delivering a complex and herbaceous juniper-driven core with accents of citrus pulp and zest, orchard fruits, and licorice. Medium to full-bodied with ideal balance offering rich fruit and creamy marshmallow notes with generous acidity and spice to foil the lush core. $32.49 –
