Hernö Old Tom Gin
Hernö
Hernö's Old Tom bridges the gap between dry and sweet with the precision of a watchmaker. Jon Hillgren's commitment to organic botanicals and small-batch copper-pot distillation results in a gin that feels both historical and thoroughly modern. Outstanding in a Martinez or simply on its own.
Hernö Juniper Cask Gin
Hernö
Hernö's Juniper Cask is a gin that uses wood to amplify rather than mask its botanicals. The juniper wood barrels concentrate the spirit's core identity instead of pulling it toward whisky territory. It's a masterclass in restraint, and the best argument for cask-rested gin this side of genever.
Barr Hill Gin
Caledonia Spirits
Barr Hill proves that complexity doesn't require a botanical bill as long as your arm. Two ingredients — juniper and raw honey — sound impossibly simple, until you realize that Vermont's raw wildflower honey is itself a symphony of over a hundred pollen sources.
Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin
The Shed Distillery
The Gunpowder tea botanical is the masterstroke here — it binds the citrus and juniper elements into something cohesive and unmistakably different from any London Dry. Drumshanbo Gunpowder is the gin that makes craft spirit sceptics take a second look. The distinctive spherical bottle is famous in Irish bars, but the real story is inside it: a carefully developed recipe, an unexpected Chinese tea leaf, and a distillery that chose character over convention at every turn. Serve in a copa glass over ice with tonic, sliced pink grapefruit, and a twist of lime.
The Botanist Islay Dry Gin
Rémy Cointreau (Bruichladdich Distillery)
The Botanist is the gin that proves terroir isn’t just a wine concept. Those 22 wild Islay botanicals — foraged by hand over 30 weeks each year from bogs, shores, and hillsides — give it a sense of place that no factory gin can replicate. The rescued Lomond still allows a 17-hour distillation, four times longer than whisky, extracting complexity that faster methods miss entirely. At 46% ABV and under $40, it’s one of the most characterful gins on the planet, and the subtle coastal salinity at the finish reminds you that this spirit was born on an island battered by the Atlantic.
