DISTILLER'S NOTES:
Valentine Liberator Gin, named after the B-24 Liberator Heavy Bomber produced in Detroit during World War II. Liberator is clear with aromas of peppery cinnamon, honey cardamom pastry, dried citrus, and candied juniper with a silky, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a zesty mélange of citrus, herbal roots, anise, pink peppercorn, and cinnamon bark on the long finish.
I hand select nine botanicals from around the world. Bold flavors are brought to life through a longer maceration process while lighter notes are produced with a special botanical infusion process.
Liberator Gin earned the Gold Medal and the titles “Best in Class” and “Best in Show” at the American Distilling Institute’s 7th Annual Judging of Craft Spirits. In addition, it earned a score of 90 points from the Beverage Testing Institute in 2013 and a Gold Medal from the International Craft Spirit Awards. Liberator is a well balanced and spice forward gin for all applications.
