St. George Dry Rye Gin

About St. George Dry Rye Gin

A base of 100% pot-distilled rye gives this peerless gin a peppery character and an impossibly rich mouthfeel. If spirits are a form of self-expression, Dry Rye celebrates a love of juniper’s assertive side, while balancing it with a soft, lush finish.

Tasting Notes for St. George Dry Rye Gin

Juniper and rye share a spicy quality, which is emphasized with Dry Rye’s botanical bill. Juniper berries are the star here (twice as much juniper is used as in Terroir or Botanivore), complemented by black peppercorn, caraway, coriander, grapefruit peel, and lime peel. While the spice component of the first three is apparent, you might be surprised to learn that grapefruit and lime have one as well. The bright quality of the citrus also brings the spice into focus, giving it a clean, crisp edge that delights before yielding to the creamy quality of the pot-distilled rye.

Suggested Serves

• With its rich, textural mouthfeel, our Dry Rye Gin makes an exceptional French 75. To make, combine:
• 1 oz St. George Dry Rye Gin
• 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 oz simple syrup

In a mixing glass, fill 3/4 full with ice, and stir for 15 seconds. Strain into a flute, then top with 3 oz champagne. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Production Notes

Starting with unaged rye as the base spirit gives Dry Rye its warm, malty signature. St. George Spirits distills the botanicals using two techniques, to capture the exact sought-after flavor components. The custom Arnold Holstein stills give precise control over the pot-distilled peppercorns, caraway, coriander and citrus peel. Juniper berries are placed in a steam distillation basket, where the vapor from the still can gently extract their bright, fruity characteristics.
