Genevieve Genever-Style Gin
Anchor Distilling Company · Anchor Distillery (Hotaling & Co.)
A cerebral, textural gin that whispers where others shout. Genevieve rewards patient sippers and reshapes classic cocktails with malty gravity.
Nose
Warm malted grain leads—doughy wheat, cracked barley, a whisper of rye spice—laced with lifted juniper, coriander seed, and a soft citrus oil note that hovers rather than announces.
Palate
Full and silken, closer to unaged whiskey than gin: bread crust, barley sugar, oily juniper resin, cardamom, dried angelica root, and a subtle peppery lift. Weight without weightiness, complexity without clamor.
Finish
Long, cereal-driven, and quietly herbaceous—juniper pine and licorice root fade into a warm grainy hush.
- Style
- American Genever-Style / Malt Wine Gin
- Botanicals
- Juniper berries, coriander, angelica root, orris root, cardamom, lemon peel, cassia, and additional proprietary botanicals matching the Junípero recipe
- Base Spirit
- Malted wheat, barley, and rye pot-distilled spirit
Cocktail Suggestion
The Quiet Holland — 2 oz Genevieve, 0.75 oz Cocchi Vermouth di Torino, 1 barspoon Bénédictine, 2 dashes orange bitters. Stir over ice for 30 seconds, strain into a chilled coupe, express a lemon peel and discard.
Food Pairing
Roasted quail with juniper jus and celery root purée, or aged Comté with dark rye and honeycomb.
Created by Anchor's late master distiller Bruce Joseph as a nod to the malt-wine genevers that predated London Dry, Genevieve is distilled from a mash of wheat, barley, and rye and redistilled with the same botanicals as Junípero—a quiet historical bridge in a bottle.

Jura 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Jura
Jura 10 is an island malt that sidesteps the peat-bomb stereotype entirely. Its restraint is its strength — a whisky shaped by geography rather than process, tasting of the rain and wind that batter its remote island home. Ideal as a gateway to island Scotch.
Noah's Mill Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey
Noah's Mill
Noah's Mill is barrel-proof bourbon without apology. Its intensity rewards patience — a splash of water opens the caramel and softens the leather into something rich and contemplative. A serious sipper for those who want their bourbon to push back.
Crossbill Highland Dry Gin
Crossbill

Rhum Clément Select Barrel Rhum Agricole
Clément
Clément Select Barrel is an excellent entry point into aged agricole rhum. The barrel aging tames the raw grassy intensity without erasing it, creating a spirit that bridges the gap between agricole purists and aged rum lovers. At its price, it's one of the best values in the category.

Tanqueray Lovage London Dry Gin
Tanqueray
Part of Tanqueray's limited-edition heritage series inspired by Charles Tanqueray's original recipes, Lovage brings back a Victorian-era botanical that most modern gins have forgotten. The savory character makes it a natural partner for a proper gin and tonic with a celery garnish, and a genuinely distinctive alternative to the floral gin trend.
Companero Gin by Sacred Spirits
Sacred Spirits
Sacred's vacuum distillation technique preserves the freshest expression of each botanical — no boiling, no heat degradation. The result is a gin of unusual clarity and precision. Each botanical is distinct yet integrated, making it equally suited to a contemplative neat pour or a gin and tonic that reveals new layers with every sip.
Whitley Neill Handcrafted Dry Gin
Whitley Neill
Whitley Neill's core expression is a proper London Dry that respects juniper without being one-dimensional. The interplay between African-sourced botanicals and classic gin architecture makes it versatile behind the bar and genuinely enjoyable neat. Outstanding value at the price point.
