Green Hat Classic Gin

Green Hat Classic Gin, also known as their "Original Batch Gin," is a flagship spirit from Green Hat Distillery, which was the first legal distillery to open in Washington D.C. after Prohibition. The name "Green Hat" pays homage to George Cassiday, a notorious bootlegger during Prohibition who was known as "The Man in the Green Hat" for his signature green fedora.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: The gin offers classic aromas of juniper, accompanied by bright citrus notes and a hint of herbal freshness, including notes of fennel and sage.
• Palate: It presents a balanced and flavorful profile with a juniper-forward taste complemented by citrus peel and herbal undertones. Some detect subtle anise notes and a touch of earthiness.
• Finish: The finish is described as crisp and clean, with the juniper and herbal notes lingering pleasantly.

Awards and Recognition:

• Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (Citrus/Floral).
• 95 Points from Tasting Panel (Original Batch).
• Gin of the Year at the Bartender Spirits Awards (Citrus/Floral).
• Gin Producer of the Year at the Bartender Spirits Awards.
• Double Gold at the Bartender Spirits Awards (Citrus/Floral).
• Double Gold at the San Diego Spirits Festival (Original Batch).
• Gold at Concours d'Spirits (Original Batch).

Overall Impression: Green Hat Classic Gin is a well-regarded gin that aims to honor traditional gin-making while offering a contemporary experience. It's considered a versatile spirit, suitable for enjoying neat or on the rocks with a citrus zest, as well as a solid base for classic gin cocktails like the Gin & Tonic and Martini.

Please note: While Green Hat Distillery was originally located in Washington D.C., it was acquired by MGP Ingredients in 2020, and the distillery in Ivy City, D.C., closed in July 2022. Production of Green Hat Gin has since moved to MGP's distillery in Atchison, Kansas. However, the brand and its classic expressions continue to be available.
