St. Augustine New World Gin

St Augustine is a cool town - I loved my day there and look forward to getting back now that my aunt and uncle have a second home just down the coast. It is a hot, swampy place, though...which means at least one gin and tonic a day is required for survival. The folks at St Augustine Distillery had me covered, and the gin not only was delicious, but was a perfect g&t base. Lots of citrus, plus a grassy, herbal spice that lingers. I only had limes on hand, but I'd almost prefer grapefruit with this in a g&t or rickey. Really nice stuff.

A crisp, Artisanal Gin by St. Augustine Distillery in Florida crafted with 100% Florida-grown sugar cane neutral spirit, 4 citrus elements & a dozen botanicals; in a pot still. It has an aromatic birth with notes of berries, fruits, herbs & spices; while a crisp life adds notes of juniper, angelica & coriander; that led to a velvety death of medium length. May 2024

New to this particular spirit but I must say this is a great gin. Goes very well with a high quality tonic such as Fever Tree. In my opinion this is worth the $10 premium over big name brand gins. 4 years later and love love love this gin in G&T’s. Have purchaed many bittles of this for summertime drinks. 6/22/23

I was told this would be much less harsh than most gins... And they were right. I would shockingly drink this quite often. As I'm new to the spirit, I can only attest to the large citrus notes I achieve, in addition to standard juniper.

Well crafted gin, just lacking the juniper notes I prefer. Nice 94 proof! Lovely bottle and label, but at $40 / 750 ml not a vaule purchase. I prefer Beefeater 1.75 ml at same price.

A gin out of St. Augustine Florida with a classic profile of juniper and lemon. Dry w a hint of sweetness. Surprisingly good in a 5:1 martini w Dolin Dry and a lemon twist.
