St. Augustine New World Gin

St. Augustine is a charming city - I thoroughly enjoyed my visit there and anticipate returning now that my relatives have a vacation home nearby. It is quite hot and humid, however...meaning at least one gin and tonic daily is essential for well-being. The staff at St. Augustine Distillery provided just that, and the gin was not only delicious but an ideal base for a G&T. It features plenty of citrus, along with a grassy, herbal spice that lingers. I only had limes available, but I might have preferred grapefruit with this in a G&T or rickey. Truly excellent.

This crisp gin from St. Augustine Distillery in Florida is made with a neutral spirit from 100% sugar cane grown in Florida, 4 types of citrus, and a dozen botanicals, all produced in a pot still. It starts with a fragrant aroma carrying hints of berries, fruits, herbs, and spices. Its crisp character introduces notes of juniper, angelica, and coriander, leading to a smooth, medium-length finish. May 2024

New to this spirit but I must say this is a great gin. Goes very well with a high quality tonic such as Fever Tree. In my opinion this is worth the $10 premium over big name brand gins. 4 years later and love love love this gin in G&T’s. Have purchased many bottles of this for summertime drinks. 6/22/23

I was informed this would be less harsh than most gins... And they were correct. I would surprisingly consume this quite often. As I am new to the spirit, I can only confirm the prominent citrus notes I detect, along with the standard juniper.

A well-made gin, it just doesn't have the juniper notes I favor. Nice 94 proof! Attractive bottle and label, but at $40 for 750 ml, it's not a cost-effective purchase. I prefer a 1.75 ml bottle of Beefeater for the same price.

A spirit from St. Augustine, Florida, featuring a traditional taste of juniper and lemon. It's dry with a touch of sweetness. Pleasantly impressive in a 5:1 martini using Dolin Dry and a lemon peel.
