Local spirit

CuTLEr’S gIn is a true new-western style gin that emphasizes the bounty of amazing citrus grown throughout the central coast, along with floral notes of local elderflower and jasmine, spicy notes of Cardamom, which are balanced with traditional botanicals of Juniper, coriander, and angelica. every batch of Cutler’s Gin begins with a highly refined corn based spirit, distilled six times to create a gluten free base spirit with a very subtle hint of natural sweetness. Select organic botanicals are added to the base spirit, and allowed to steep for a period of time. The botanical infused spirit is then carefully distilled again, bringing out the very best character of each botanical. enjoy Cutler’s Gin on the rocks, in your favorite cocktail, or shake it up cold with a touch of dry vermouth to make the finest martini to ever cross your lips.
