The Naturalist Is A Smooth, Balanced Gin That Is Refreshing
If you were to come over to our house and take a quick glance at the bar, you’d notice most of the real estate is occupied by bourbon and whiskey. Sure, we also have some vodka, tequila, rum, and a few liqueurs but there’s rarely any gin. Why is that you ask…well its really just an oversight.
So when the folks at Still Austin Whiskey Co. sent us a bottle of their signature American Gin The Naturalist, I knew I needed help sampling it. Fortunately a close friend is a gin drinker and an amateur mixologist, she stepped up to assist. I think she’s upping her game and working on leveling up, based on the Rosemary Gin Mule she made for us.

Still Austin Whiskey Co. Introduces “The Naturalist”

Austin, TX – Still Austin Whiskey Co., a homegrown distillery situated in the heart of South Austin, has released a full packaging rebrand for its signature American Gin, the first rye gin made in the Lone Star State. The 100% handmade gin is uniquely crafted from a custom base of 70% Brasetto rye and 30% non-GMO white corn provided by Texas farmers. The spirit is then milled and distilled in-house in small 100-gallon batches in a copper pot still. It’s here that the distilled base spirit absorbs the various gin botanicals, including organic juniper berries, coriander seeds, cinnamon, citrus peels, elderflowers and allspice berries, while passing through the distillery’s 42-foot-tall custom column still. The end result is a perfectly balanced gin bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), which features an initial brightness, creamy mouthfeel, soft floral and citrus notes, an earthy character, rye spice and a warm finish.
