Crater Lake Reserve Dry Gin

Reserve is what Crater Lake Spirits makes when it wants to show the full range of the craft — the distillery's premium dry gin, from the Bend, Oregon operation founded in 1996 as one of America's craft-distilling pioneers. Where the flagship Crater Lake Gin is famously a single-botanical, juniper-only spirit infused Prohibition-style, the Reserve takes a more classical route: a small-batch dry gin built around the same wild, hand-picked central Oregon juniper but with a supporting cast of traditional botanicals — citrus peel, coriander, and gentle spice — distilled together for a rounder, more layered profile, and proofed with pure Cascade Mountain water. It's bottled at a higher strength than most premium gins, keeping the botanicals vivid in a cocktail. Expect the bold, fresh, high-desert juniper that defines the house on the nose, softened here by citrus zest and a hint of coriander, opening into a smoother, more complete palate than the flagship — juniper still leading, but balanced with bright citrus and a warm, peppery spice — finishing long and clean. It's the Crater Lake for drinkers who love the distillery's juniper-forward honesty but want a gin that plays well in a wider range of drinks: a proper Martini, a Negroni, a Gimlet, or a G&T with a lemon twist. Honest note: still emphatically juniper-first — this is Oregon, not a flower shop. Small batch, from the Pacific Northwest's original craft distillery.
