Spring 44 Gin

Type : Gin
ABV : 80
Producer : Spring 44 Distillery
Country : United States
Size : 750ml
Description :

Similar to their vodka, Spring 44 Gin is made from what they describe as a "proprietary blend of American-grown grain." The infusions are described as floral, citrus zest, and juniper--the floral implies a bit of a modern flavor profile but for the moment we have opted to list it as a classic dry style gin. (In a favorable review by the Gin Sin, they descibe it as something in between a classic and modern gin.)

Spring 44 was founded by Jeff Lindauer, who had an annual tradition of drinking from a high mountain spring with his friends (over 9,000 feet!) at midnight. The taste and purity of the water gave rise to the name of their spirits. They use the Rocky Mountain spring water in their spirits, which they believe gives a unique quality to their flavor. While the label is owned by Spring 44 Distilling Company, the filing with the federal Tax and Trade Bureau (as of 2012) locates the source as the Temperance Distilling Company of Michigan, which we have noted here as the producer. Presumably, the recipe and water are delivered via Spring 44 for bottling in Michigan (prior filings suggest an Oregon source with Side Pocket Beverage).
