Black Button recently introduced Head Distiller, Jeff Fairbrother’s first official release, an American Dry Gin. Fairbrother’s addition of cubeb berries (Java pepper) and Chamomile give a unique twist to Black Button’s expanding gin portfolio.

Fairbrother is a Warden Nominated Rectifier of The Gin Guild as of 2017, and only the 4th American to be installed as such. The Gin Guild is an international non-profit founded by the British Worshipful Company of Distillers.

But that’s not all. Black Button is donating monies raised by the sale of this gin to Mended Little Hearts of Greater Rochester, a charity near and dear to the Black Button family. This organization helps patients and families of children with congenital heart disease. Yet another way that Black Button gives back to and supports their local community.

Black Button American Dry Gin (84 proof)
Visual: Clear.
Nose: Spicy juniper nose with a rich tapestry of botanicals. Quite bright with a lot of high notes.
Taste: Peppery with a medium juniper presentation. The second wave brings in a nice blend of citrus. Lastly, the chamomile adds a soft and floral edge that ties everything together.
Finish: Long, with a peppery heat on the very back of the palate.
Overall: A really tasty gin that is just begging for summer cocktails. There is a liveliness that transcends the typical type of dry gins from London. A winner.
GSN Rating: A
