Greenhook Ginsmiths American Dry Gin
Greenhook Ginsmiths · Greenhook Ginsmiths
Greenhook's vacuum-distilled gin captures botanical freshness with unusual precision. The chamomile note is the distinguishing feature — it softens the juniper without diluting it, creating a gin that works beautifully in a Martini but also holds its own in more complex cocktails. Craft American gin at its most thoughtful.
Nose
Bright and piney juniper opens immediately, followed by chamomile and elderflower notes that give it a distinctive softness. Coriander and fresh lemon zest add a citrus-forward lift. Underneath, there is a subtle orris root earthiness.
Palate
Clean and well-structured. Juniper stays dominant through the palate, supported by a spicy coriander kick and a gentle ginger warmth. The chamomile influence is more pronounced here, adding a floral-herbal layer that sets it apart from classic London Drys. A touch of cassia bark adds depth.
Finish
Medium, with lingering pine juniper and a peppery spice trail. The chamomile returns softly at the very end.
