Brooklyn Gin is a craft spirit made in New York, notable for its fresh take on traditional gin production. The brand was founded by Emil Jättne and Joe Santos, who aimed to create a gin that reflected the vibrant and independent spirit of Brooklyn. Their focus on using fresh ingredients is a hallmark of the brand, distinguishing it from others that might use frozen or dried botanicals. The distillation process is done in small batches using a Carl copper pot still, which allows for better flavor extraction and a smoother finish.
Brooklyn Handcrafted Small Batch Gin is renowned for its vibrant and fresh profile, emphasizing a strong presence of citrus elements derived from fresh peels, alongside a backdrop of hand-crushed juniper berries. The gin showcases a medley of lime, Mineola orange, sweet orange, and lemon zest, complemented by nuances of juniper, lavender, cardamom, and coriander. This complexity provides a lively and multi-faceted sensory experience.
Nose:
The aroma of Brooklyn Gin is notably vibrant with a strong focus on citrus elements. It features scents of fresh lime, Mineola orange, and other sweet orange notes, complemented by undertones of juniper, lavender, cardamom, and coriander. This creates a complex and inviting nose that emphasizes freshness.
Palate:
On the palate, Brooklyn Gin continues its citrus-centric theme. Initially, it presents flavors of pine-dressed juniper berry, sweet orange, and lemon zest. As the tasting experience evolves, the citrus becomes slightly more sour, highlighted by lime and white grapefruit pith. Background notes of cardamom and chai add a spicy complexity to the profile.
Finish:
The finish of Brooklyn Gin carries a medium length, characterized by residual juniper and green lavender echoes. This leaves a clean and refreshing aftertaste with a hint of spice that lingers pleasantly.
