Description
Not quite your traditional London dry, not quite a Dutch genever. Often referred to as one of the “new American” style gins. Whatever you call it – there is no doubt that Rehorst Gin is exceptional.
Rehorst Gin owes its unique character to a host of botanical ingredients which are balanced and distilled in small batches using the best equipment we know of – our distiller’s sense of smell and taste!
Made with 9 botanical ingredients including two never found in any gin before. The first, sweet basil adds a unique fresh floral character. Next, we use Wisconsin Ginseng – long recognized as the worlds finest quality ginseng. The majority of this crop is exported to Asia where it is revered by herbalists. We use it to add an earthiness to our gin that gives it a unique Wisconsin flavor.
Fantastic in a martini and also makes an incredible gin & tonic.

Anthony Dias Blue rated our gin in the March 2009 issue of The Tasting Panel. Mr. Dias Blue scored it 92 points saying… “Lush and creamy texture with lovely juniper, complex herbs and a long, mellow finish; impressive and neatly balanced with notes of citrus, spice, lively spice and nice vanilla”.
BevX says...
"Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is beautifully aromatic offering scents of citrus in the lead,
supported by juniper, anise, ginger, lime leaf, and coriander, and an earthy note of ginseng. The
palate is in full agreement with the nose, delivering a citrus-driven core, generous notes of lime
zest and pickling spices, and a subtle vanilla accent. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a lush and silky texture that leans toward Genevere, while the finish is pure London Dry." –4.5 Stars
Beverage Experts says…
“Crystal clear. Incredibly aromatic filling the nose with scents of anise, ginger, ginseng, grapefruit, and coriander. The palate is complex and unique walking the fine stylistic line that partitions the lush, Dutch Genevere and dry, London Gin styles. Showing great vigor with sharp notes of lime zest, pepper, and cardamom. Tremendously versatile creating a memorable martini. Bravo!" 4 Stars -Exceptional
Beverage Testing Institute says…
“Clear color. Mild, inviting aromas of Fannie Mae peppermint bark, kaffir lime, honey cream, and delicate spice with a silky, vibrant, fruity medium body and a tingling, refreshing, medium-long citrus jelly, menthol mint lozenge, pepper, and chalk finish. A superbly flavorful and nuanced gin that will be very versatile.” Gold Medal 91 points -ExceptionalX
