2015 Autumnal Out Now!

A harvest season celebration of the golden treasures of Vermont's maple syrup and Kentucky's Bourbon, Letherbee's 2015 Autumnal Gin overflows with North American richness.  

For nearly 3 years at the distillery Letherbee has been aging their Original Gin in a used Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrel.  Founder Brent Engel and the gang have decided it's the right time to share this gem with the world.  A restrained addition of this single barrel lends to the Autumnal blend a smack of Bourbon’s complexity while commanding the reigns over the Bourbon's grains.  

Letherbee then throws into the mix an ethereal single-origin wood-fired maple syrup from The Bunker Farm in Vermont.  Bottled by Greenstate Sugaring in Portland, OR, the elegance of this syrup's terrior confidently tiptoes along the gin's coriander and cardamom, granting a warm glowing confection.  House-roasted sugar maple wood chunks camber the Bourbon's bite and the syrup's sweetness as the batch is crowned by the peppery savor of allspice.

Like all of Letherbee's gin, this year's Autumnal is bottled at 96 proof and is in limited supply.

2015 Autumnal Gin Launch party

Stop in next Tuesday (Oct. 6) to say hello to the Letherbee Crew and try this season’s sure-to-sell-out-quick limited seasonal gin from Letherbee Distillers.

Letherbee’s 2015 Autumnal Gin features a combination of flavors perfectly suited to the season – bourbon barrel, maple, and allspice. Founder Brent Engel and the gang have been aging gin in a used Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrel for almost 3 years, giving the batch a hint of bourbon’s complex flavors. Letherbee also sourced a single-origin, wood fired maple syrup from The Bunker Farm in Vermont, by way of Greenstate Sugaring in Portland, OR, and steeped house-roasted sugar maple wood chunks in the gin both pre and post distillation.  The allspice lends a graceful depth,  complementing the char of the bourbon barrel.

The resulting gin is lightly sweet, spiced, and just the thing for these cooler days and longer nights.

Letherbee Fountain Opening Night

With a team of long-time friends, the Letherbee Fountain has officially sprung in Berlin.  An embassy of sorts, the Fountain not only operates as a flagship store where one can purchase bottles, but also as a perpetual brainstorm on new ways to spread the booze .  Open by appointment only and for parties and tastings.  Contact cheers@letherbee.eu to visit or curate an event.

Thanks to JOD for the Fountain’s design and construction

Thanks to Thomas Henry for throwing down on the tonic
