KEEPING AMERICA ON TOP: WHOM YOU KNOW CELEBRATES AMERICAN STYLE INTELLIGENCE and EXCELLENCE WITH THE AMERICAN GIN COMPANY! Champagne Wishes: Averell Damson Gin Highly Recommended by Whom You Know!
Quite awhile ago you'll remember we featured DH Krahn:
We love keeping up with brands that impress us, and their latest and greatest is Averell Damson Gin! Unlike regular clear gin, the first thing you will notice is that it has a distinctive plum hue because of course it is made from the Damson Plum which came to America with the first settlers. This gin is a must for every connoisseur's bar and the unique nature alone has earned it a spot. However, we also love that it is made in America and has extraordinary taste. Not only is it made in America, but it is made in NEW YORK! (Applause from Peachy)
The American Gin Co., producer of DH Krahn Gin and Averell Damson Gin, announces that the latter is now available for sale in 19 states. “Our production is limited every year by the size of the plum harvest, however, our intention is to make the product available in markets where fine-dining and cocktails are most relevant, and that market is growing.” says David Hughes, Co-Founder of The American Gin Co. The 2011 harvest yielded roughly five hundred cases of finished product. Current markets include CA, DC, FL, GA, IL, IN, LA, MA, MN, MO, NJ, NV, NY, OR, PA, RI, TX, WA, WI.
The Damson Plum (Prunus Damascena) originated in ancient Persia and spread throughout Europe in the Middle Ages, making its way to North America with early settlers. The Damson is the tartest and spiciest of all plums. Historically famous in jams, brandy and gin, these small, crimson plums have become rare, losing popularity to larger and sweeter cultivated varieties. Averell Damson Gin is made just after New York State’s autumn harvest. The plums are barrel pressed to extract the juice along with the rich color of the skins, then blended with a small-batch American gin. The result is an exceptionally bold and bright liqueur, delicious in classic fizzes or straight. It is highly recommended by Whom You Know.
