Castle & Key Rise Seasonal Spring Gin

Castle & Key Rise Seasonal Gin is a limited-release spirit from the historic Castle & Key Distillery in Kentucky, designed to capture the essence of spring and summer. Like their Roots of Ruin Gin, it starts with a base derived from their rye whiskey newmake and is vapor-distilled with a selection of seasonal botanicals. The specific botanical blend and proof can vary slightly between releases.
