Humboldt County’s First Gin Is In: Dutch & Dewey Distillery’s Horse Mountain Gin

28 Jun 2016 --- Dutch & Dewey Distillery, a small-batch, sustainably run producer, distiller, and bottler, announces the launch of its Horse Mountain Gin, a premium, handcrafted 96 proof dry gin that balances the classic juniper character of London Dry with the bright, citrus notes of New Western style.

At the distillery, located near the Horse Mountain Botanical Area, seven local gin lovers and the distiller, Jeff St John, selected the mix of ten botanicals that were then hand-zested or hand-cracked before being vapor phase infused with Dutch & Dewey Distillery’s Farm Horse Vodka in the still and botanical basket designed and manufactured by the distiller.  This process gently extracts the essential oils and compounds from the botanicals and produces carefully balanced, smooth, and complex tastes and aromas.
