Limited stock. Handcrafted, hand bottled, hand labelled, and hand-numbered, this small-batch gin is truly unique. Master distiller Todd Leopold handicrafts every batch in a small 40-gallon copper still, blending uniquely American botanicals like hand-zested Florida Oranges and California Pummelos. These components lend citrus notes to the gin, and help distinguish American gins from their English counterparts.
