Bimini Overproof Gin

Bimini Overproof exists because of a chemistry problem the distillers decided not to hide. Botanical oils dissolve in alcohol but separate from water, so when Round Turn Distilling dilutes its gin to 94 proof the oils start falling out of solution and the gin turns cloudy — the regular Bimini is lightly filtered to stay clear. At 111 proof (55.5% ABV), the Overproof stays crystal clear at room temperature with no filtration at all, which means every drop of flavor extracted from the botanicals goes into the bottle. And because filtration strips some oils more than others, the balance changes: the juniper is more robust up front and the Mt. Hood hops more clearly defined through the middle. The recipe is otherwise identical — juniper, grapefruit peel, hops, aromatic barley malt, coriander, chamomile, and orris root, each group macerated and distilled separately over a four-times-distilled corn base — made by hand by founders Kristina Hansen and Darren Case in a 150-year-old textile mill in Biddeford, Maine. Expect the same bright grapefruit and floral hop aromatics as the flagship, with a firmer juniper spine, more texture, and a longer, warmer finish. Good Spirits News noted it packs a punch at 111 proof and recommended it for punches and juice-forward cocktails to temper the fire. It's the Bimini for a Negroni, a Last Word, or a Gimlet that needs to hold its shape — and for gin drinkers who found the regular bottling a touch too gentle.
