Green Hat - Gin Trio
Ivy City's best gin joint is Green Hat Distilled Gin. These amazingly talented distillers are offering three of their best offerings plus a t-shirt:
- Classic Gin - Distilled by Hand from 100% Grain and Select Botanicals in Small Batches in a Copper Pot Still. This classic spirit is the modern gentleman's perfect lifestyle accessory. Hand-made from grain to glass, each numbered batch of Green Hat Gin is crafted step-by-step over a one month period, featuring a clear juniper nose, hints of citrus lightness and coriander spice, a vague recollection of root botanical earthiness, a subtle note of grains of paradise pepperiness, an herbal whisper of celery, and a rewarding complexity. The result is a super-premium gin that excels both in the finest cocktails and with a small cube in the gin-lover’s neat glass.
- Spring/Summer Gin - Distilled by Hand from 100% Grain and Select Botanicals in Small Batches in a Copper Pot Still. This limited edition gin is the essential seasonal addition to your bar. Hand-made from grain to glass, this seasonal edition of Green Hat Gin is a unique expression of gin, featuring a clear juniper nose, floral cherry blossom and clover notes, the aromas of sun-baked rosemary, and a bright zestiness from fresh citrus. The result is a seasonally appropriate super-premium gin that makes a worthy limited addition to a gin-lover’s bar.
- Navy Strength Gin - Distilled by Hand from 100% Grain and Select Botanicals in Small Batches in a Copper Pot Still. This limited edition gin is the essential seasonal addition to your bar. Navy strength spirits are traditionally stronger (higher proof) than their non-nautical counterparts. Back in the day when sailors were given a daily ration of gin or rum, they would occasionally mix their liquor with gun powder and try to ignite it. If the powder-liquor brew ignited, they knew their liquor wasn’t watered down. Gunpowder will ignite if the liquor it’s mixed with is at least 114 proof.
Winning bidder can trade in the t-shirt for any size or model if you visit the distillery.
