Coloradan Gin and a celebration of outlaws.
While the godawful Prohibish lasted between 1920 and 1933 for the majority of the United States, Fort Collins, Colorado, was a dry town from the year Utah became a state to the year we went to the Moon. So for over seven decades, honest Collinites had to sneak around for a tipple. Old Elk Distillery (known for its incredible Old Elk Bourbon and Nooku Bourbon Cream) created the Dry Town brand to honor the outlaws and the rebels who made sure people could wet their whistles.
Dry Town Gin is an exciting premium four-grain Gin whose prototype was perfected after 64 attempts. Head Distiller Kate Douglas macerates juniper, orris root and fresh oranges for 18 hours before she adds angelica, ginger, lemon verbena, lemongrass, lime, sage and pepper. The Gin's character is decisively herbal, citrusy and piney, and a perfect ingredient for (naturally) a Gin and Tonic, but even more for your contemporary Gin Martini. We wouldn’t say it's a reinvention of Gin, but it is a fantastic modern take on the ancient Spirit. Citrusy, refreshing and a long mouth-watering finish that will ask for another sip.
