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.
