Revolutionary American Gin with an unprecedented twist.

Bluecoat Distillery is based in Philadelphia and is named after the blue uniforms of the American revolutionaries. Now, the name would imply they don’t like the Brits, but that’s not true. They just like their things shout USA! USA! USA! After the Bluecoats redefined Dry Gin, they decided to go a few steps further and put evolution in Gin Revolution.

Barrel Finished Gin is exactly what the name says: it's aged in new and charred American Oak barrels for at least three months using an old process from the 18th century. What we get is a radical, unparalleled Gin with well-rounded flavors added to the juniper DNA. It's like making a superhero, to be frank. We'd recommend sipping on this badass Gin neat, but you can use it for evergreen cocktails such as the Gin Old Fashioned and Negroni. 

Smartass Corner: Bluecoat Gins are made by Philadelphia Distilling. They were the first craft distiller in Pennsylvania since prohibition. In 2005 when founder Robert Cassell went in to apply for his license, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board officials has to make one up because an official form did not yet exist.

John
John,
Very tasty and floral gin, the aging definitely takes the edge out and gives it decent depth.
 
Katrina
Katrina,
Best gin we've ever had, from any country.
 
Marisa
Marisa,
Very nice gin for sipping, it almost tastes like a whiskey
 
Judy

terrific
 
Gregg
Gregg,
Worth a try but it lacked identity. It wasn’t enough of a gin and definitely can’t pull off whiskey.
 
Robert
Robert,
Truly unique gin that is an interesting combination of the typical bitter juniper with hints of flavors more consistent with a whiskey.
 
Scott
Scott,
This was really smooth

Will buy again

Isaac,
Great tasting Gin, paired well with anything I mixed it with. Not too dry an doesn’t burn, smooth as silk.
 
Harrison
Harrison,
Unless you drink Tequila and Vodka exclusively, you will not be disappointed in this bottle. It can hang with any whiskey when mixed into a cocktail and sits just as neat as one on its own as well. Don't let your previous opinions about Gin ruin this experience for you. Juniper berries apparently can't overpower the charred-barrel flavor.
 
Mathew
Mathew,
My first venture into gin but I’m really liking it so far.

Andrew,
First Gin I've tried. Some nice darker notes than what I'd expect since it was barrel aged, with a hint of spice that mellows out nicely once mixed into a cocktail
 
Zane
Zane,
Strong citrus peel flavor, spicy finish with hints of juniper. Amazingly smooth in a negroni
 
Marc
Marc,
I'm not as much of a gin drinker, and typically prefer whiskeys, which may be why this is a gin I can get into. The barrel finish adds some good depth and smokiness. Can still taste some of the juniper fragrance. Great for cocktails.
Jure
Jure,
Yes I agree completely!
Jeffrey
Jeffrey,
Easy to drink neat or on the rocks. The juniper taste does not come through strong, but it has a uniquely complex flavor. The dark color would make you think it oaky or smokey, but it is more subtle than that. I get a subtle char with caramel overtones. It can be mixed as a normal gin but don't expect the normal flavor! You cannot beat the quality for the price.
 
Luis
Luis,
Outstanding, well rounded gin - unique it color, complexity. Very subtle hints of autumn; lacks the heavy juniper taste. Solid as a stand-alone, or in a drink.
 
Lane
Lane,
Very good gin to sip like a good scotch, I enjoy it in a glencairn glass with a couple drops of water, very nice flavor!
 
Stuart
Stuart,
The caramel color is definitely deceiving, yet interesting. It made a fantastic gin and tonic yet.
 
Brandon
Brandon,
Unique flavor and unbeatable quality for the price. Make a Barrel-Aged Negroni with it if you don't believe me!
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Absolutely delightful gin.
 
Jacob
Jacob,
Very interesting spirit, I haven't had anything else like it before. The caramel color fools me into expecting whiskey. However, the aromas of juniper and spices are present and well defined on the nose. The palate is smooth and approachable. Great for sipping or mixing!
 
Kevin
Kevin,
I really enjoy this gin, it is very different in a good way. I drink it either neat or on the rocks. This gin does not disappoint.
 
Taylor
Taylor,
Unbelievably unique and defined spirit from an already great gin maker!
 
Blake
Blake,
Awesome, unique gin. Good by itself, makes a great gun & tonic, but my favorite drink with it is to make a Elderflower Tom Collins w/ it using equal parts Bluecoat Barrel Reserve, Bittermilk's Tom Collins mix, and club soda & the poor it over ice in a copper mule mug, which brings out the flavors in the copper still distilled liquor!
 
John
John,
excellent, unusual gin!
 
Richard
Richard,
Spectacular gin with a whiskey cousin.

Kanari,
Surprisingly smooth with a caramel -like finish. DELICIOUS!!!
