From the original three Sharp brothers who came to America from Scotland to John Emerald Sharp, the distillery's namesake, the family has lived lives of integrity, honoring God, their fellow man and their family. Each spirit is named for an ancestor, and its flavors evoke his personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout his life, Hugh Wesley was a wise visionary with a spirit of adventure, a man not afraid to think outside the box, much like the gin that carries his name. Seeking out unique ingredients led the distillery to wild-foraged Alabama juniper berries of the Juniperus virginiana variety, making it one of the only gins in the world to use it. Coriander, orange peel and anise complete the botanical blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a gin with a flavor profile that appeals to gin and non-gin drinkers alike, finishing with a distinctive pepper-and-cucumber note: just the type of flavorful adventure Hugh would have gone looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpelika is a town rich in heritage with a vision for the future, and John Emerald made the first legal whiskey in Alabama since the end of Prohibition, and its signature spirit, John's Alabama Single Malt Whiskey, carries the name of John Emerald Sharp, who lived a life of integrity and honor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild juniper, orange peel, anise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juniper, coriander, soft citrus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pepper and cucumber.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e John Emerald Distilling Co., Opelika, Alabama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e New American gin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJuniper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild-foraged Alabama Juniperus virginiana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanicals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juniper, coriander, orange peel, anise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it neat or in a craft cocktail; its pepper-cucumber finish shines in a Gin and Tonic or a Southside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is it made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn downtown Opelika, Alabama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the juniper special?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is wild-foraged Alabama Juniperus virginiana, rarely used in gin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho was Hugh Wesley?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Sharp family ancestor known as a visionary with a spirit of adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gin\"\u003eGin collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Emerald Distilling Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68030159421749,"sku":"VWS200432096","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-28846.webp?v=1793734570","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/john-emerald-hugh-wesleys-gin-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
