Gin Tasting: Hotaling & Co. Porfolio

Join us on Saturday, March 20th, at 2:00 PM, for a hybrid Gin tasting and cocktails with Paulo Pereira, Business Development Manager at Hotaling & Co.

Focusing on Junipero, this is one of the pioneers of the craft gin scene in the U.S. It’s distilled by Hotaling & Co. (formerly Anchor Distilling) in San Francisco, starting in 1996. The flavor is bright and crisp, with juniper and other botanicals leading the way, followed by a burst of citrus. The bottle got a redesign this past summer, with a look updated to what the brand says is inspired by “public art.” The liquid inside remains the same, though. It is a solid place to start exploring American gin. Junipero has been awarded best London Dry gin in America.
