Dry Town Dry Gin Distilled From Four Grain

Dry Town Dry Gin Distilled From Four Grain is a contemporary-style gin produced by Old Elk Distillery in Fort Collins, Colorado. The name "Dry Town" ironically pays homage to the city's prohibition past, which lasted until 1969.   

Key Features:

• Distilled From Four Grains: As the name suggests, this gin is distilled from a base of four grains: corn, rye, wheat, and barley. This likely contributes to a smooth and potentially slightly more complex base spirit compared to single-grain gins.   
• Ten Botanicals: It features a blend of ten botanicals, which are infused through an 18-hour soak and vapor extraction process. These include:
  • Juniper
  • Orange Peel
  • Orris Root
  • Lemongrass
  • French Verveine
  • Ginger
  • Black Pepper
  • Lime Peel
  • Angelica Root
  • Colorado-grown Sage
• Contemporary Style: While juniper is present, the overall profile leans towards a more modern and less traditionally juniper-forward style, emphasizing citrus and herbal notes.
• Small Batch: Crafted in small batches to ensure quality and consistency.
• Proof: Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV).   

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Very citrusy on the nose, leading with orange and sweet lime, followed by hints of lemon leaves and kaffir lime leaves. Some detect a spicy, slightly Asian undertone.
• Palate: Described as bold with juniper and lime rising early. Lots of citrus, suggesting both lemon and lime. Ginger spikes mid-palate before notes of lemon verbena and pineapple sage provide a herbal counterpoint.   
• Finish: Warm with undertones of ginger, black pepper, angelica root, and sage, leading to a long and quite nice finish with a lingering stickiness and botanical presence.   

Overall Impression:

Dry Town Dry Gin is presented as an exciting, complex, and unabashedly contemporary gin. The four-grain base likely contributes to a smooth texture, while the blend of botanicals creates a vibrant and citrus-forward profile with interesting herbal and spicy undertones. It's often recommended as a solid cocktail gin, particularly for those looking beyond classic London Dry styles and for those who enjoy citrus-driven gins. It pairs well with citrus juices and bitter amari, making it suitable for cocktails like an Aviation, Corpse Reviver #2, or Monkey Gland
