The taste of a grown-up summer.

In 2012, Jason Barrett was a 24 year-old working in his great-grandfather’s button-making factory in Upstate New York, just like four generations of his family. But he was made for a different path. Before the year was out, he started a small batch distillery operation in his hometown of Rochester.

But he is sentimental enough to have named his new rebel business after the family tradition — Black Button Distilling. Today, four years later, he has developed a range of unique products including a few Gins, their Four Grain Bourbon, a Fernet, two Moonshines, Vodka, and an interesting "Bourbon Cream" liqueur.

Jason likes Gin. He likes it a lot. But this rebel also thinks that Gin shouldn’t "hit you in the face with a Christmas Tree." To him that means that the juniper needs to be there, but should take a back seat to some of the other botanicals. So in addition to their floral "Lilac Gin," they have added Black Button Citrus Forward Gin to their line-up with an emphasis on orange zest and local hops. It seems like a small thing, but the difference really works — so much so that Food and Beverage magazine named it the "Official Gin of Summer."

Ratings & Reviews
Member Reviews and Ratings of Black Button Citrus Forward Gin
Richard
Richard,
Nice citrus flavor, similar to west coast fresh cascade hops. Excellent chilled with a twist.
 
Matt
Matt,
Definitely citrus forward, a little much for my liking but wife gives it an 8
 
Steve
Steve,
More medicinal that citrus I would say.
 
James
James,
The Juniper/black pepper taste is off.
 
Jarred
Jarred,
Refreshing citrus flavor. Very enjoyable
 
Kari
Kari,
Piney. Anise. Herbal. Really liked this. Confused by the flavor profile on the site. We got this is the gin tasting sampler and the card has completely different flavors listed (that I feel are more in line with what we experienced).
 
Wally
Wally,
Very licorice / fennel presence. Not really my type of flavor, but not a bad gin
 
Chris
Chris,
Lots of flavor in this gin. Very unique.
 
Jeremiah
Jeremiah,
Very citrus forward. Pleasant.
 
Kevin
Kevin,
This was a great treat, definitely had a fennel or licorice flavor that was a nice spin on gin. Would not recommend with a strong lemon add, let the fennel take center stage.
 
Jim
Jim,
Call me a traditionalist, but this is not enough like gin for me. I’m okay with more floral notes, but this doesn’t even have that.
 
Gary
Gary,
Very enjoyable. Definitely citrus and coriander flavor!
 
Daniel
Daniel,
I got smells of vanilla and cherries, but it has a licorice flavor at the end. Really enjoyable!
 
Kurt
Kurt,
I really like this gin. Citrus forward for sure, so if that's not your thing, don't get it. If that is your thing, then you'll enjoy it. I like it on ice with a lime wedge.
 
Jerry
Jerry,
It was too sweet for me.
 
Chris
Chris,
Pretty basic gin. Like the citrus idea, but not my style overall. I prefer a deeper flavor.
 
Amanda
Amanda,
Nice citrusy gin. A little much coriander flavor for me, but overall good.
 
Antti
Antti,
It is a very good, crisp, American Dry Gin that has a fresh birth; while a dry life leads to a powdery death.
 
Doug
Doug,
I don’t drink a lot of gin any more, but this one is a solid citrus-forward. I liked it enough to give it as a gift to a friend who loves gin... and it was appreciated.
 
Sonali
Sonali,
A very interesting, sipping gin! The tasting spiral is different online than what comes in the box, but my blind tasting matches the one I got more closely... The aromatics are very fruity & spicy. It has a very strong dried orange note. The taste matches and is followed by a spicy and slightly bitter finish (think licorice). The juniper note is more of an undertone, which works for the overall flavor profile of this gin.
 
Catherine
Catherine,
It’s okay. This gin has somewhat of a bitter twang to it that I don’t love.
 
Ryan
Ryan,
Very citrus forward, finishing taste is not the best.
 
Marty
Marty,
Great flavor for sipping!
 
Nick
Nick,
the scotch of gins
 
Teri
Teri,
I got this in a tasting box and found it to be really good. It is citrus forward which gives it a nice flavor
 
Craig
Craig,
Delightful. So much small great stuff going on -- coriander, florals, citrus [though not, to my taste, "citrus forward," which in this case is a good thing], some sort of soft "bottom" I can't place, but it nearly hints at the maltiness of genever. Not one of those "big" in-yo-face American gins, and all the better for it.
 
Jason
Jason,
Another hit for Gin, lovely straight with orange peel and anise with a peppermint finish. The nose is oily with pepper.
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Grapefruit soda lime and THIS!
 
Steven
Steven,
If I like licorice I would make this higher than seven. Classic coniferous start with a black licorice finish, not enough to be overpowering but enough to notice.
 
Aaron
Aaron,
I find it interesting to read the love it-hate it comments here....I found this to be one of the best gins I've ever tasted. I like peppery, and this has that, with, to me, a perfect blend of sweetness and light citrus to balance it. VERY flavorful and I'm thrilled to have gotten the Ginaissance tasting kit and discovered it!
 
Samantha
Samantha,
I found notes of coriander and black currant. Reminded me more of Ophir spiced gin than anything else. Good, just not what I was expecting from the notes.
 
Jenna
Jenna,
Something about this just seems... unbalanced? The flavors don’t seem to meld well. And I like different gins a lot. But this one... this one just doesn’t speak to me. Unsure what I’ll do with the bottle.
 
Tina
Tina,
Did not care for this at all. Started with it on the rocks, moved to dirty gin and tonic (my normal drink) and could not drink it.
 
David
David,
Really liked the coriander flavor coming through. Good citrus as well.
 
Timothy
Timothy,
It’s well made with subtle citrus and botanicals, but I thought the coriander was too much-almost licorice at the start. Still, it is an interesting little potion.
 
John
John,
Very disappointed in taste. I was expecting more orange flavoring, but overall taste profile is unappealing
 
Alexander
Alexander,
A summery gin. Something to be had with a slice of cucumber and water crackers and mild cheese and grapes. Think of August evenings, fireflies, and laughter.
 
David
David,
It's nice because its not heavy. Not overpowering. Not lingering. Very good for a spring summer time. Smoother.
 
Don
Don,
Smooth and flavorful with the perfect aftertaste. The fact it’s local to me is just a bonus.
 
Quintin
Quintin,
The Coriander is phenomenal.
 
Kyle
Kyle,
Wonderful bouquet! Amazing for a cold night by the fire.
 
susan
susan,
this would make a gin lover of anyone---tastes great on the tongue ---smooth and full of flavor---mixes well with so many add-ons
 
Kelly
Kelly,
Tastes like spicy after-shave.
 
Barry
Barry,
Coriander a bit strong... like the pepper... smooth finish. Overall very good but not great
 
Jedediah
Jedediah,
I agree the after taste not a fan of. But the first taste pretty good. It's a nice mixer gin. But not my favourite.
 
Charles
Charles,
Not my favorite gin but not the worst that I have ever tasted either. The floral notes were great it just seemed to have a strange after taste.
 
Ryan
Ryan,
Also tastes like tequila
