About this bottle

Hailing from the nation’s capital, this craft gin features a distillate base of 63% rye, 26% corn, and a rich 11% malted barley. The botanical program prominently features the necessary juniper and the unique addition of local spicebush — a member of the laurel family with aromatic berries — along with coriander, grains of paradise, angelica, fennel, licorice, orris root, lemon peel, and lemongrass. The distillery focuses on grain and distillation also producing vodka and whiskey. Note: This product received a makeover with new packaging and "District Made" added to Ivy City Gin.

indiecognition 2.0

Strongly medicinal and bracing. Prominent juniper overwhelms other botanicals. Rye base adds some pepper, which results in a pretty rough sip, and a gin that isn't smooth enough to mix in more subtle cocktails. The distiller has an exciting and geeky approach, so I hope future gin recipes are much more to my liking (others I was with liked this gin more than I did, but I think I was the most avid gin drinker of the group).

George Jetson 4.0

Great in a G&T. The unusual grain bill gives it a creamier mouthfeel with a little spiciness and pepper from the botanicals and rye grain.

PotableT 5.0

Shocked by the low reviews here - this is one of my favorite gins, approachable and balanced.
