St. George Terroir Gin

St. George Terroir Gin is a distinctive American gin crafted by St. George Spirits in Alameda, California. It's designed to evoke the essence of the Northern California landscape, aiming to transport the drinker to the region's forests and coastal areas.

Key Features:

• Origin: Alameda, California, USA.
• Botanicals: A unique blend of 12 botanicals that highlight the California terroir:
  • Douglas fir (wildcrafted, local)
  • California bay laurel (wildcrafted, local)
  • Coastal sage (wildcrafted, local)
  • Juniper (foraged from the Diablo Range)
  • Wok-roasted coriander
  • Angelica root
  • Orris root
  • Lemon peel
  • Seville orange peel
  • Saigon cinnamon
  • Cardamom
  • Fennel seed
• Base Spirit: Corn.
• Distillation: The Douglas fir and sage are distilled separately to manage their intense flavors. Fresh bay laurel and juniper are vapor-infused, while the remaining botanicals are distilled directly in the pot still.
• ABV: 45%.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Intensely woodsy and earthy, reminiscent of a forest. Expect prominent notes of Douglas fir (piney), California bay laurel (herbaceous and slightly spicy), and sage. Hints of citrus (lemon and orange) and a subtle earthiness from the coriander and angelica root are also present.
• Palate: Crisp and clean, mirroring the aromatic profile. The piney notes from the Douglas fir are dominant, often described as brawny. The bay laurel and sage contribute their distinct herbal and slightly peppery characteristics. Juniper plays a supporting role, and there's a touch of citrus and spice from the other botanicals. Some detect a slight eucalyptus note.
• Finish: Long and dry, with a lingering pine resin and herbaceous quality.

Awards and Recognition:

St. George Terroir Gin has received significant recognition for its unique and high-quality character, including:

• Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (2017).
• Best Craft Distiller Spirit at the American Distilling Institute Craft Spirits Awards (2014).
• Gold Medal at the Good Food Awards (2016).  

Overall Impression:

St. George Terroir Gin is a bold and distinctive gin that truly captures the essence of the Californian wilderness. Its pronounced woodsy and herbal notes make it stand out from more traditional gins. It's a gin that invites exploration and is best enjoyed by those who appreciate a spirit with a strong sense of place. It performs well in Martinis, where its unique character shines, and can add an interesting twist to other classic gin cocktails. Some reviewers suggest it can be polarizing due to its intense profile, but it is highly regarded by those who appreciate its unique terroir-driven flavor.
