Calamity Gin is a "Texas Dry Gin" crafted in the United States, uniquely infused with Texas wildflowers, including the state flower, the Bluebonnet, alongside ten other carefully selected botanicals. This gin aims to blend Old World and New World styles, resulting in a well-balanced spirit with a distinct profile of mild juniper, noticeable floral notes, and a fresh citrus finish. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), it embodies the independent spirit of the legendary Calamity Jane.

  • Palate: Described as rich and very balanced in flavor, with a supple, crisp, and dryish profile. Expect a combination of light juniper and a pronounced floral sweetness, along with a fresh and complex citrus element.
  • Finish: Perfect and long-lasting, with notes of sage, turmeric, and grains of paradise. The citrus finish is complimentary and refreshing.
