No. 209 Gin Kosher for Passover

Gin description

In creating the first and only certified kosher-for-Passover gin in the world, our goal was to develop a gin that was as close as possible to No. 209’s taste profile. We knew that it was not a simple feat since kosher standards preclude using any grain based spirit, and additionally, several key botanicals are not Passover approved, primarily cardamom. With more constraints than making our standard No. 209 Gin, Arne developed a recipe that stays loyal to our citrus-spice roots. No. 209 Kosher-for-Passover Gin still has a citrus backbone, but has more of an herbal undertone due to the addition of California bay leaf from Mt. Veeder in Napa Valley. First across the palette are the high citrus notes and a sweetness that is attributed to the sugar cane base spirit. Mid palette, more savory flavors evolve with bay leaf and juniper at the forefront. As the gin passes the palette, spice notes of cassia and pepper become prominent.
