Gins produced in America today are produced decidedly in the London Dry gin style. Bluecoat is the first and only American Dry gin. What makes Bluecoat an American Dry gin? When you have the opportunity to taste Bluecoat in comparison to the familiar London Dry gin style, the answers will become obvious.
The first difference you will notice is the intense smoothness of the spirit itself. Bluecoat is distilled to be an extremely pure spirit, without harshness of impure alcohols that are often present in other gins. Bluecoat is distilled with quality in mind over quantity produced. That is to say, only the most pure alcohols that highlight the desired botanical flavorings ever see the inside of the bottle.
The second difference you will notice is that while Bluecoat American Dry gin is uncommonly smooth, it also has unusually complex flavors. All gins start with juniper berries, and Bluecoat is no exception. Bluecoat uses an organic juniper berry, which in comparison to the typical juniper berries used in most gins, gives it spicy, earthy juniper notes. The organic American citrus peels are what give Bluecoat its signature American Dry gin taste profile. The citrus blend includes sweet orange and lemon peels, as well as a third, untold citrus peel that round out the proprietary blend.
The other botanicals used in Bluecoat serve to round out the desired flavorings. Angelica root is used to bind the flavors and various other botanicals give it further intricacy, reflecting the artistic touch of the Master Distiller.
Incredibly, the result is a gin that has multi-dimensional flavorings; the first and only of its kind that has complexity of flavorings combined with purity of spirit.
Whether you sip Bluecoat in a martini, with tonic, or as the base of any of your favorite cocktails, you will be quick to realize that while there are other gins produced in America, there is only one American Dry gin, Bluecoat American Dry gin.
