Double Gold Winner at the
San Francisco World Spirits Competition

“Smooth, clean and very dry with assertive, classic flavors of juniper and citrus: a martini with one eyebrow raised.”
 – Eric Asimov, New York Times

“Made by San Francisco's Anchor Distilling, this does the London Dry style better than anything from the U.K. Power, spice, perfume and balance: It might be the most perfect gin around.”
 – Lawrence Marcus, Variety

“Arguably America's greatest gin.”
 – Oliver Schwaner-Albright, Departures Magazine

unípero Gin is made by hand in the classic "distilled dry gin" tradition, utilizing morethan a dozen botanicals in their natural state, in a small copper pot still at our littledistillery on Potrero Hill in San Francisco. The history of gin goes back at least to the mid-1600's in Holland, but its true antecedents are much earlier, those first experiments in the ancient and mysterious art of distilling in the presence of herbs and spices. The predominant flavor and aroma of a modern gin will always come from juniper (dried berries of the "common juniper," Juniperus communis). But the wonderful challenge for the distiller is in selecting and blending from a wide variety of additional, exotic botanicals in order to impart a uniquely satisfying, balanced character to his gin. At Anchor Distilling we have taken delight in the adventure of researching and experimenting with many such botanicals. Our final formula must remain a secret, but we hope you will agree that we have achieved a distinctive, intriguing complexity in our Junípero Gin: light and crisp and clean, combining a deep and mysterious spiciness with subtle delicacy.

The Anchor Distilling Company, established in 1993, is dedicated to creating very small batches of traditionally distilled spirits of many types and styles. We also experiment with completely new products from time to time. For further information, please write or call.
