Thirsty Thursday - Gins for the Fall
5 pm - 7 pm
Gin in autumn is basically your botanicals putting on their “serious but still fun” outfits. Juniper stays the lead singer, of course, but suddenly the backup dancers — spice, earth, orchard fruit, warm citrus — start stepping forward. Summer gin is all spritz and sunshine; fall gin is depth, texture, and the kind of aromatic confidence that pairs beautifully with sweaters, dim lighting, and the annual debate over whether it’s too early for Halloween decor.
Destilerias Xoriguer Gin de Mahon 82 proof
Special price: $37 (Regularly $42)
Distilled over Menorcan wood fires, this is the kind of recipe family secrets are built on. It’s got an aroma that announces its presence immediately—a smoky, juniper-forward nod to Miguel Pons Justo’s mid-40s brilliance.
James Asian Parsnip Gin (80 proof)
On sale: $35 (Regular: $39)
Parsnips, usually relegated to a Sunday roast, take center stage here with an earthy, nutty confidence. It’s a bit like a British tea party meeting a spice market—ginger and cardamom bring the heat, making for a fusion that’s as cozy as it is unexpected.
Hayman’s of London Old Tom Gin (82.8 proof)
On sale: $26 (Regular: $29)
With ten botanicals fighting for attention, this is a masterclass in balance. Hayman’s takes a 24-hour nap in copper pots before emerging smooth, velvety, and just sweet enough to keep things interesting. It’s the 'Old Tom' style that refuses to choose between dry and sweet—and honestly, why should it?
Hardshore Barrel Rested Gin (92 proof)
On sale: $37 (Regular: $42)
Rosemary and mint get a serious glow-up in new oak barrels. The result is a smooth, woody, vanilla-kissed transformation that blurs the line between gin and rum. It’s the spirit that decided to trade its crisp summer whites for an autumn leather jacket.
The Botanist Cask Aged Gin (92 proof)
On sale: $53 (Regular: $59)
Bruichladdich’s master distillers took Islay’s finest and gave them a three-year oak nap. The result? A copper-hued daydream of dried fruit and toasted oats that proves gin doesn’t just endure the cold—it thrives in it.
