Description
Terroir is inspired by a beautiful part of the San Francisco Bay Area, Mt. Tamalpais. Made from two distillates, one with wild Douglas fir and sage, and another with eight botanicals, including local bay leaves and juniper berries to produce a truly unique, wild gin. Its herbaceous character will stand out in a bold cocktail.
A profoundly lush and aromatic gin with a real sense of place, Terroir is our ode to the wild beauty of the Golden State. In your glass, it conveys what we love about the monumental groves of trees, moist and misty glens, and sun-baked chaparral of our favorite landscapes. Sip it and be transported.
Tasting Notes
Pine buds, spruce, fir, and pine cones greet the nose. It’s immediately evocative. The forest seemingly is literally sitting in your glass. Absolutely brilliant.
The palate is rife with more of the same, but with more specific flavors recognizable. Sage and bay leaves early, the sage meshes with resiny juniper, fir needles and becomes slightly more minty and cool tasting as the taste progresses. It tastes thick and rich, with nearly every manner of conifer combining at once. However, where I think it really shines is towards the finish where the sage retreats a bit and you get coriander and delicate spice. There’s a slight hint of lemon and citrus as well. The finish is cool and moderately long, with minty cool sage. Very smooth and extremely easy to drink on its own.
