Litchfield Distillery Gin

Gold Medal, 2024 ADI International Spirits Competition. Gold Medal, 2024 NY International Spirits Competition. Gold Medal, The Fifty Best 2018. Silver Medal Winner at the 2018, 2019, 2022 & 2023 New York International Spirits Competition. Silver Medal Winner at the 2016 & 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Crafted from luscious, non-GMO corn grown right here in Connecticut, our gin is infused with hand-selected botanicals: juniper, coriander, elderberry, and freshly peeled orange and grapefruit zest. Unlike other distilleries who use dried zest, we believe the extra effort with fresh peels creates vibrant, sweet citrus notes that perfectly complement our signature juniper profile. This dedication makes our gin exceptionally crisp and refreshing, perfect for your favorite gin craft cocktails. It’s martini-grade; serve it neat or in mixed drinks. Bottled at 86 proof. #CTGrown #CTMade

TASTING NOTES:

Nose: Pleasing notes of citrus, vanilla, saffron and white rose.

Palate: Slightly sweet with lemon and grapefruit citrus, along with classic juniper notes.

Finish: An evolving, crisp finish with a little heat in the back; notes of hermit cookie and gingerbread.
