Gray Whale Gin is an exceptional craft gin that stands out as much for its story and mission as for its incredible flavor. Inspired by the majestic migratory route of the California Gray Whale, this gin uses sustainably sourced botanicals native to the Pacific coastline, delivering a spirit that is both unique and beautifully crafted.
On the nose, Gray Whale Gin offers a fresh and captivating aroma, with bright notes of citrus from California lemons and limes, complemented by a subtle hint of piney juniper and a touch of oceanic salinity. The bouquet is vibrant and inviting, setting the tone for a memorable tasting experience.
The palate is where this gin truly shines. It’s smooth and well-balanced, with distinct layers of flavor. The inclusion of wild foraged Douglas fir and coastal sagebrush adds an earthy complexity, while fresh mint and almond provide a creamy, slightly sweet finish. Every sip feels like a journey along the California coastline, perfectly encapsulating its natural beauty.
The finish is clean, crisp, and slightly herbaceous, with a lingering citrus brightness that makes it wonderfully refreshing. Gray Whale Gin is incredibly versatile, elevating both classic gin cocktails like a G&T or martini and modern creations with its unique profile.
What makes Gray Whale Gin even more special is its commitment to sustainability. A portion of every bottle sold supports ocean conservation efforts, making it a spirit you can feel good about enjoying.
