About No. 209 Gin
No. 209 Gin is a premium New World gin produced by Distillery No. 209, under Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., distilled five times from American corn base spirit at 46% ABV (92 proof). What makes it special is its unique botanical blend featuring bergamot orange, lemon peel, cardamom, cassia bark, angelica root, coriander, and petitgrain, macerated overnight and pot-stilled for 11 hours, emphasizing vibrant citrus over traditional juniper dominance. This creates a rich, luscious mouthfeel ideal for mixing. It's perfect for gin enthusiasts seeking modern, citrus-forward profiles, from cocktail lovers to those new to gin. Compared to London Dry styles like Tanqueray or Beefeater, No. 209 is less piney and juniper-heavy, offering brighter bergamot, orange, and spice notes that shine in Martinis and Gin & Tonics, at a competitive $32.49 for 750ml. Its balanced execution and versatility make it a standout in the craft gin category.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose is faintly spicy yet largely citrus-forward, with bitter orange and dry bergamot leading, accompanied by hints of coriander, cardamom, petitgrain, and juniper. The aroma is intensely evocative even without close sniffing, exciting the palate with vibrant top notes of lemon zest and orange peel. Lightly sweetened impressions of lemon balsam add depth.
👅 Palate
True to the nose, the palate bursts with bergamot orange and cardamom spice, transitioning to juniper and lemon zest mid-palate. Rich, slightly thick, and luscious in texture, it delivers an oily mouthfeel with a whisper of juniper overshadowed by lemon, coriander, and citrus oils. Subtle booziness enhances the aromatics for a full-bodied experience.
✨ Finish
The finish is medium to short, featuring pink grapefruit hints, creamy dryness, and lingering spice. It packs impressive flavor density despite its brevity.
