Privateer Gin

Privateer Gin starts with their molasses based spirit, made from scratch, which is then infused with herbs, freshly ground spices, and hand-zested citrus from the height of winter citrus season. They steep these ingredients for two nights and one day to allow the intense aromas of the herbs to infuse without over-extracting undesirable bitter flavors. They then redistill this spirit for a third time, marrying the cane spirit’s character with the classic aromas and flavors of gin. They ripen the gin for 3 months in a stainless steel tank to allow further flavor development.

Privateer’s ingredients are sourced from the finest purveyors to ensure fresh and oil rich spices of the highest quality, and to avoid the stale aromas often associated with gin. All of the citrus is freshly zested to avoid harsh pith, or the loss of the aromatic oils. Privateer only distill their gin once a year, right around the New Year when citrus is at its peak.
