St. George Terroir Gin (750ml)

One of a trio of new gins from this artisan distiller, this gins claim to fame is that it was inspired by a hike on Mt. Tam, and the distiller describes it as akin to drinking a martini in a pine forest. Some will find the juniper essence too strong, although it also reads as clean and bracing, and its laced with a peppery finish. Botanicals include Douglas fir, fennel, bay laurel and sage. A portion of the profits from the gin are donated to support California wilderness.
