About this bottle

Distillery No. 209's flagship gin is distilled a total of 5 times from corn harvested in the midwest. The first four distillations are done in a column-still (essentially a vodka base) and before the final distillation in their hand-hammered 25-foot alembic copper pot-still, botanicals are macerated in the spirit overnight. The botanical blend includes Calabrian juniper, bergamot orange peel, lemon peel, cardamom pods, cassia bark, angelica root, coriander seed, and other secret ingredients. It is bottled at 46% ABV.

AnttiRG 4.0

A crisp, small-batch Gin by Arne Hillesland for Distillery No. 209 located at Pier 50 in San Francisco, California; 'distilled five times from red corn grain spirit in a custom alembic copper still & blended with botanicals from around the World. It has an aromatic birth with notes of citrus, orris root, licorice, coriander & angelica; while a bittersweet & oily life adds notes of lemon, bergamot, orange oil, bittersweet citrus peel, spice, juniper, cassia, cardamom, licorice, coriander & grain; that led to a clean & refreshing death with notes of evergreens, herbs, spices & juniper.
