Made from 65% Hazlet rye, 25% heirloom corn, and 10% malt barley, Roknar Maryland-style is aged two years in Minnesota-made barrels.

The recipe for Roknar Maryland-style is based upon George Washington’s original mash bill from his distillery at Mount Vernon. Maryland-style rye was known as the “American Gentleman’s Whiskey” for its softer, sweeter flavor profile from the additional corn.

TASTING NOTES | Leads with notes of roasted corn, leather and oak. Sweeter on the mid-palate while offering a healthy bite on the finish.

GUSTAF NAVY STRENGTH GIN

GUSTAF

NAVY STRENGTH GIN

Gustaf \Goos-tahf\ is big and bold, yet surprisingly balanced Navy strength gin with 11 botanicals including lemon, cucumber, and fennel.

114 PROOF

TASTING NOTES | Layered with lavender, juniper and honeysuckle on the nose, Gustaf shows a trace of citrus akin to yuzu or lime. Spicy and expansive on the palate, it finishes with notes of white pepper and licorice, a zesty, lingering expression of earth and sea.

At 114 proof, navy strength gin occupies a storied place in the annals of British Naval history. The daily ration of gin or rum was only allowed on board if the proof was high enough to ensure that if the liquor drenched the gunpowder at sea it would still ignite.

GOOD FOOD AWARD WINNER
—

As forthright as the steely-eyed Swede for whom it is named — the distiller’s great grandfather — Gustaf is a Navy Strength gin with a bracing kick. The addition of high-proof distilled estate rye to the final bottled spirit gives Gustaf its distinctive flavor and pays homage to the farm’s patriarch for which it’s named.

THE GUSTAF GIMLET

1.5 oz Gustaf Navy Strength Gin
.5 oz fresh lime
1 oz dill-infused simple syrup
2 dashes salt solution

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake while humming “Rule Britannia”.
