Liberator Gin

Description

Valentine Distilling Liberator Gin is a tribute to the Consolidated B-24 Liberator, the US Air Force's flagship strategic bomber. This aircraft was used during military operations during the Second World War and became well-known for the large number of units produced. Liberator Gin is a product desired by the renowned distiller Rifino Valentine, thanks to the foundation of a distillery in the state of Michigan in 2009. Today, precisely in the city of Detroit, this gin is made with a skilful blend of ten unique botanicals, among which juniper berries and chili pepper aromas stand out. Liberator Gin begins smoothly with a hint of candied juniper. Shortly thereafter, the full citrus flavor of orange and lemon peel unfolds. The distillation process is unique and takes place in two distinct stages. The first phase involves the expert and long maceration of the botanicals, allowing the product to ultimately acquire bold and distinctive aromas. This is followed by a second distillation using a traditional pot still. Liberator Gin, as a result, presents very balanced aromas of juniper and pine. Notes of cardamom and coriander are also present. The finish is provided by a pleasant touch of vanilla.

From this winery

Everything that I do must be done with quality in mind above all else, the way it was meant to be done. I’ve always appreciated the American craftsman; working by hand, making one of kind items that stand the test of time. In distillation, this means selecting the best ingredients, distilling in small batches, and taking care in every single step of the process. I take great pride in using old world techniques, techniques that haven’t changed in centuries. There are no computers controlling the stills, just my sense of taste and smell to determine the cuts.

In an era of mass production, squeezing costs and maximizing profits, one important thing is lost: quality. This country was built on quality manufacturing. At some point we lost our way. We shipped jobs overseas, became beholden to Wall Street earnings and lost our keen focus on quality products. I am taking a stand against mass produced spirits. I am here to prove that American ingenuity and quality American manufacturing is still alive. Read more
