We took our inspiration from the classic London dry gins which use a traditional maceration process and a simple blend of botanicals. We wanted to make a nod to the past as we created a new classic. Bootlegger 21 NY Gin uses only five botanicals, juniper, orris root, coriander, lemon verbena, and bitter orange peels that are macerated in the finest 100% corn neutral spirit before it’s carefully redistilled on our pot stills. The resulting spirit is blended down to 94 proof for bottling using the finest Catskill Mountain water.
Balanced is the word that best describes our gin. The classic nose of juniper pulls you to the glass, when it hits your mouth, the palate experiences a complementary medley of floral, earthy, and soft citrus notes.
When you’d like to indulge your senses in a highly refined botanical spirit, give our Bootlegger 21 New York Gin a taste. Your senses will have five reasons to cheer.

FIVE BOTANICALS & THE FINE ART OF ALCHEMY
This Barrel Rested Gin is our way of giving a second life to our once used bourbon barrels. The used barrels are filled with our award-winning Bootlegger 21 New York Gin to create this beautiful hybrid spirit. The gin slowly absorbs the remnant bourbon flavors locked in the oak, while the charcoal mellows and softens the mouthfeel. Once the barrels are ready for harvest, they’re emptied and minimally filtered to remove the charcoal particles, blended with the purest Catskill Mountain water and bottled at 92 proof (46%ABV).
The bright aromatic nose of this gin has been warmed, offering a potpourri of juniper and candied oranges. Caramelized sugar and vanilla from the bourbon round out the mouthfeel, while the coriander has evolved into cloves and cinnamon. The whiskey mouthfeel shifts back dry in the end with the slightly bitter finish of the orris root making this gin one of the most hardy and distinct barrel reserve gins in the world.
Our Barrel Reserve Gin is
created from the combination
of these same five botanicals, but
then goes through a whole new
level of flavor maturity,
making this a grownup gin.
