When distillers dream up new recipes, they often search the globe for the perfect ingredients to create the flavor profile they’re after. But sometimes, you only need to look right in your own backyard. After years of trial and error working to identify a recipe for a gin that was not only delicious, but also drinkable and even appealing to those who do not claim to be “gin lovers”, the exact combination of botanicals were married together to create an exceptional surprise. A variety of botanicals found their way into the final recipe including one indigenous to our home state of Louisiana: Honeysuckle.
Discover a gin beyond the ordinary, a departure from the typical London dry style. Our gin boasts a remarkable harmony of flavors, a delicate dance between zesty citrus, fragrant florals, and a hint of tantalizing spice. The citrus notes provide a refreshing zest, the florals impart a subtle elegance, and the spices add a gentle warmth, resulting in a masterfully balanced gin that stands out from the rest. This unique blend of elements elevates your gin experience, promising a taste that is both distinctive and utterly delightful.
The bottle label draws inspiration from botanicals that are indigenous to South Louisiana. We used these floral components to convey the spirit of this beautiful area and even incorporated the state flower, a Southern Magnolia, into the label, as well as an indigenous flower, the honeysuckle, a major component of the gin’s flavor profile, giving it its pleasant floral character.
