Storyhouse Cali Coastal Gin

Storyhouse Spirits is the East Village distillery that opened at the corner of J Street and Park Boulevard in a historic building in late 2018, founded by Matt Kidd, a former Marine pilot who became the company's distiller, and Steve Kuftinec, who spent years helping build Uinta Brewing into one of the country's top 50 craft breweries. California Coastal Gin was one of the four spirits in its opening lineup alongside California Dry Gin, Seaside Vodka and a Meyer lemon and cucumber vodka, and of the two gins it is the softer, more botanical one. Where the Dry Gin leads with juniper, the Coastal leans toward citrus and green botanical character, which is why local bartenders reach for it in drinks built around lemon and berries. The Bartender Spirits Awards tasting panel that medaled it in 2023 described a sweet, malty nose, a soft, malty and peppery entry, a strong botanical and vegetal palate, and a light body with a medium finish. That profile makes it a natural for a gin and tonic with a grapefruit twist, a Tom Collins or a French 75, and a good gateway gin for people who find London Dry too pine-heavy.
