The hand-fashioned gin recipe was tweaked 87 times before settling on what you'll find in each bottle: a smooth, sprightly gin with strong citrus notes.
"Committed to dispelling the notion that all gins taste like your grandfather’s, No. 209 Gin is more than a boutique gin producer," a representative says. "It is a pioneer producing a new generation of spirit for a new generation drinker."
If this gin seems to have a feminine note, it's perhaps no coincidence: The company is run by two females in their 30s who had no previous spirit experience.
Distillery No. 209 Gin would make a tasty gin and tonic to sip poolside. But no need to wait until summer to try it. Here are some seasonal recipes, courtesy Distillery No. 209 Gin:
