KENTUCKY
WILD GIN
New Riff Distilling’s Kentucky Wild Gin is thoughtfully crafted with local wild foraged Kentucky botanicals, capturing the native flavors of the Ohio Valley and reflecting historical Kentucky gin ingredients. Eleven botanicals are distilled right in the pot, including a range of typical European gin ingredients (such as angelica, orris and licorice root, and three kinds of citrus). To these we add two local, farmer-foraged wild seasonings, including a wild juniper berry and the amazing American Allspice (Spicebush)— both of which are on the Slow Food Ark of Taste. The base spirit includes a dash of our new make rye whiskey spirit, enriching the texture and lengthening the flavor.
