Pacific Coast Spirits Very Rare Dry Gin is a handcrafted, high-proof gin from an award-winning grain-to-glass craft distillery in Oceanside, California, bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV).
Crafted as a tribute to the classic London Dry style, it is distilled in small batches in a small copper pot still with California-grown botanicals. The blend includes fragrant juniper, zesty lemon peel, floral lavender and warm coriander, and the higher proof brings out the full complexity of the flavor. It is a reflection of California's diverse landscape, from the rugged coast to the expansive hills.
The aroma shows bold juniper and citrus with a hint of floral botanicals. The palate is vibrant and well rounded, with juniper, angelica root and coriander over a crisp citrus backbone, ending in a long, clean finish.
A gin lover's gin, it makes a refined gift.
London Dry gins are known for a crisp, juniper-led profile, and this one turns that classic style up with extra strength.
Lavender is an unusual touch that adds a gentle floral lift to the juniper and citrus.
At 100 proof, it keeps its shape in stirred drinks where lighter gins can fade.
Grain-to-glass production means the distillery handles every step, from raw grain to finished bottle.
Oceanside sits on the Southern California coast north of San Diego, and the gin's citrus and herbal notes suit the coastal setting.
Try it in a Gimlet with fresh lime for a bright, bracing cocktail.
A Martini made with this gin and a twist of lemon shows off the botanicals best.
