If my memory is correct, the first local gin I ever tried was Wire Works American Gin at the bar at Gibbet Hill in Groton. I liked it so much that I quickly ran out and bought a bottle, then another and another. Soon after I added the Wire Works Special Reserve to my collection, which was not at all a collection at the time, just gin I was drinking.
Burnt Church Distillery - Bluffton, SCSpiritJuly 5, 2023 Notes: Tried it at the distillery and took a bottle home. It strangely but wonderfully tastes like chocolate milk. I have no idea how they pull this off. Low ABV. Back to the Bar
Hill Country Distillery - Comfort, TexasSpiritApril 20, 2023 Notes: Hill Country Distillery has since gone out of business, supposedly partnering with Kerrville Hills Winery. Though no spirits are listed on their website. Niki bought me a bottle when we were visiting him and Sreyleak in Houston. Thank you! Back to the Bar
Volstead's Folly is the first bottle in my collection from StilL 630 in St. Louis, MO. It's named for the man who was largely responsible for prohibition. This is an excellent juniper forward, herbaceous gin, highly recommended.
