Bluecoat Elderflower Dry Gin

Bluecoat Elderflower is Philadelphia Distilling's floral expression, launched in 2019: the flagship American Dry Gin — the bottle that invented the American Dry category in 2006, named for the Continental Army's blue coats, distilled five times from a four-grain base with 100% organic botanicals led by soft juniper and American citrus peels — rested on whole organic elderflowers, which lend a hazy golden color and a big floral, tropical character. No artificial flavor; the elderflower goes in as the real thing. Bottled at 47% ABV (94 proof), notably stronger than most flavored gins. Drinkhacker found the elderflower quite pronounced on the nose, joining the lemon as candied lemon rind, then pungent and floral on the palate with piney juniper and a pleasant bitterness underneath — and gave an honest verdict: a hit for people who love floral gins, but strong and dominant for those who don't, even in a G&T. That's the right way to think about it. If you reach for St-Germain in a cocktail, this puts the elderflower and the gin in one bottle at full proof; if you want a juniper-forward Martini, the original Bluecoat is your gin. Built for an Elderflower Collins, a Hugo Spritz with prosecco and mint, a G&T with cucumber, or a floral French 75. Philadelphia's revolutionary gin, in bloom.
