Bluecoat Distillery is based in Philadelphia and is named after the blue uniforms of the American revolutionaries. Now, the name would imply they don’t like the Brits, but that’s not true. They just like their things to be more ‘Merica. See, they took the quintessentially Londonesque drink, the Dry Gin, and did a wonderful USA remix.
Sure, it all starts just like in ye olde Anglia: with juniper and a bunch of botanicals. But the most obvious difference here is Bluecoat not only celebrates juniper - it puts it on the center stage, using organic Mediterranean juniper berries and top-notch organic American sweet citrus peel. The first one brings softer, spicy and earthy notes to the table, while the latter makes sure Bluecoat American Dry Gin stands out with its classic citrusy finish. It's like America itself: with roots in England, but with a wilder character, having way more fun.
