Old No. 176

Gin description

Old No. 176™ is our version of a “railroad” gin. It is an unusual gin, distilled directly off of the same corn mash used for our whiskey, but with the juniper and other botanicals. The mash bill for Old No. 176™ is 83% corn with the balance barley malt and rye malt, same as for our Water Tower White Lightning™ unaged corn whiskey and Bourbon Spring™ young rested Illinois bourbon whiskey. It is fermented and distilled on grain after mashing. The gin is traditionally handmade with a single distillation in our copper pot still. While still juniper-forward, our gin marries the traditional piney flavor of juniper with coriander, elderberry, elderflower, orris root, and angelica root, and finishes with the nuanced bitter-sweet of licorice root.
