Description
Vastly different from the juniper-heavy gins of the past, No. 209 opens with a beautifully aromatic nose of predominately citrus and floral notes with a hint of spiciness. First across the palate are the citrus high notes, with lemon followed by a hint of orange. As the spirit warms in the mouth, delicate floral notes are liberated from the bergamot and coriander. Mid-palate, there is a pepper-like warmth from the emerging cardamom and juniper. As the cardamom continues to bloom across the palate mint-like components further emerge. The cassia and other warm spice notes become prominent on the finish. The cassia in particular lingers, encouraging another sip.

Product Description
No. 209 Gin and San Francisco are a natural fit. They not only share a reverence for tradition and a passion for the best, but also a confident push-the-boundaries attitude that encourages risk-taking and daring innovation. So putting our distillery the only distillery in the world that is built over water on renovated Pier 50 in San Francisco was an easy decision. Besides putting us in the shadow of AT&T Park, home of the 2014 World Series Champion San Francisco Giants, the natural cooling properties of 13 feet of San Francisco Bay water beneath the pier keeps the air temperature in the distillery perfect for distilling year-round.
