Staff Pick Notes

With so many selections available in the gin category, what makes this one stand out from the rest? In this case, simplicity. Hourtin-Ducasse, one of my favorite Bordeaux wine producers, uses biodynamic and organic principles in its vineyards and winemaking.

Fresh and clean, slightly minty, and not overtly in the bug spray realm of flavors sometimes present in gin. Botanicals include juniper, pomelo zest, peppercorn, and stinging nettles grown on the property. Fun fact: This isn't even considered gin in France due to its distillation process, but who cares? Sometimes less really is more.
