Sensory Description:

The nose opens with bright juniper and cool alpine herbs layered with fresh spruce tips and aromatic white sage. On the palate, herbal structure and forest-driven botanicals unfold alongside bay laurel and coriander spice, while subtle citrus brightness lifts the mid palate. The texture is full yet clean, shaped by double pot distillation that integrates floral, herbal, and evergreen notes into a cohesive profile. The finish is crisp and persistent, echoing resinous spruce, mountain herbs, and a delicate citrus lift that reinforces the gin’s refreshing clarity.

Distiller’s Background:

Hoot + Howl approaches distillation as a balance between traditional craft and careful technical control. Their spirits are produced through a deliberate double distillation process that softens texture while preserving the integrity of botanicals. By controlling maceration proof, distillation speed, and temperature curves, the distiller team carefully selects the finest portions of the distillate. This method ensures that each spirit reflects both botanical complexity and the house philosophy of precision-driven craftsmanship.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve well chilled in a classic gin and tonic with a citrus peel or fresh herb garnish to highlight the gin’s alpine botanicals. In cocktails, its structured herbal profile performs beautifully in both classic and contemporary recipes such as a Martinez, White Negroni, or Lucien Gaudin. For citrus-driven cocktails, it shines in drinks like the Delilah or French Blonde, where its herbal depth balances bright fruit and aromatics.
