Unlike any other gin, this offering from FEW Spirits is made using white whiskey (un-aged Bourbon) instead of more conventional neutral spirits which gives it a completely unique character!
FEW Spirits hails from Evanston in the United States of America, a city that suffered Prohibition for over one hundred years thanks to many of its advocates hailing from its dry streets. Thankfully Evanston is now home to this excellent craft distillery which takes its name ironically from the initials of Frances Elizabeth Willard, a key figure in the Temperance Movement.
The aroma is vibrant with lemon zest and a blast of juniper.
Vanilla sweetness with chewy juniper and top notes of lemon.
Clean and tidy with a rewarding freshness.
A refreshing gin that works handsomely in many a cocktail.
Just not sure about this one, jury is still out. Tastes a bit too much like whiskey, guess it is not what i was expecting !
Delicious. Love it.

I tend to be a loyalist when it comes to Gin. FEW's American Gin has almost been a religious experience for me. Whether it's in a gin+tonic, mixed with ginger beer, or used as the fire in the hot toddy on a cold winter night, this spirit has never failed me. I know this makes me sound like an alcoholic, but FEW's American Gin always has a prominent seat in my bar.
