Friday Finds: California Crafted Gins

5 bottles brimming with native botanicals for a uniquely Golden State drinking experience.

Gray Whale Gin, $45

This gin celebrates six Californian botanicals— juniper, mint, lime, fir tree, kombu, and almonds—all sustainably sourced or wildly-foraged along the Pacific Coast. Gray Whale Gin has a refreshingly citrus palate with a smooth creamy finish.

Wilder Gin, $35

Wilder Gin is distilled with wild-harvested, native California botanicals including sagebrush, purple sage, bay, yerba santa, pixie mandarin peel and chuchupate. This dynamic mix of the wild and the cultivated bursts with fresh, savory aromas, like taking a walk through the mountains of the central coast. 

St George Terroir Gin, $40

An ode to the wild beauty of the Golden State with aromas of coastal forests on California’s Mount Tam. Intense earthy, wood, with flavors of fir trees, sage and bright citrus. A unique and proudly California gin great for mixing or sipping.

Mojave High Desert Gin, $29

A uniquely curated blend of desert botanicals led by prickly pear fruit, sage, juicy lime, and white pepper with a mouthwatering finish. The flavor is punctuated with a subtle earthiness, warm spices and a balance of traditional gin botanicals.

Amass Dry Gin, $36

A gin with 29 botanicals, several of which are indigenous to Southern California. It is a very Californian expression of gin. Layers of hibiscus, cacao and lime leaf make this silky soft-nose gin complex yet versatile, perfect for creating a variety of cocktails.
