A Gin Flows in Brooklyn
     Breukelen Glorious Gin is one of two gins with Brooklyn roots (the other is Brooklyn Gin) and the only one actually made in New York's trend-setting borough. Distilled from five botanicals and organic grain grown on New York farms, Glorious Gin is concocted in a former boiler room on 19th Street. But it's not just another entry in a the growing small-batch gin category. Glorious Gin is specifically made to showcase the innate flavors of all its ingredients -- including the base alcohol.
     "Because this started out as wanting to do a craft, we actually make the alcohol ourselves, out of wheat," says Breukelen Distillery owner Brad Estabrooke. "A lot of gin that's on the market is made with purchased neutral alcohol that doesn't really have any flavor left to it.So, I started by buying wheat from this farmer upstate and then mashing that wheat and distilling it one time to make alcohol, which still has some of the character of the wheat."
     He has a similar approach to the botanicals used in Glorious Gin. "A lot of gins have lots of botanicals. You can't really taste all those individual ones," says Estabrooke. "So, I thought, maybe we should try to keep the gin simple and keep that flavor of the wheat in it and also make sure you can taste each of the individual flavors...instead of having some sort of homogenized flavor. We used lemon peel, juniper berries -- like all gins --  (and) rosemary, grapefruit peel, and a little bit of ginger. I distill the wheat alcohol with one botanical at a time. Then, I take all those individual botanicals and blend them together in order to make it taste just like we want.".
     The taste is far removed from the traditional London dry style -- more floral and fruity with the juniper quality remaining in the background. Wine Enthusiast rated it 89 and The Gin is In gave it four out of five points. Once available only in restaurants and bars in the New York City area, Glorious Gin is now distributed in a handful of states, including Massachusetts. And we have a great deal on a limited quantity.  While supplies last, purchase two or more bottles of Glorious Gin -- which usually retails for $34.99 -- and get it for just $19.97 a bottle. That's artisan gin at a generic gin price. Click here to take advantage of this offer.

Glorious Gin

Distilled from 100% New York wheat, this brisk, perky gin is bright and sweet, and it offers notes of candied lemon peel and rosemary, plus a warm touch of anise.

The tasting is extremely vibrant. It reminds me more of a vodka than of a gin. Yes, the juniper is in there, but otherwise it's lively, almost a hint sweet, and decidedly not of the London

Dry style.

     That being said, it's extremely accessible and versatile. It works in martinis due to its smoothness and flavor profile. It compliments sweet vermouth very nicely. Delicious in a gin and tonic, but stellar when paired with a bitter tonic like Q tonic where the grapefruit can carry the show. The citrus blend makes for a very interesting gimlet or Tom Collins.

Overall, it's a versatile and flavorful gin, sure to appeal to your non-traditional gin set, but with enough elements of a classic gin done well enough to appeal to gin connoisseurs.
