Earl Grey Distilled Tea Gin - New American Style
2022 Las Vegas Proof Awards - Century Award, 100pts unanimous all judges.
Tea first, juniper second (non-piney).
A one-shot distillation creates a seamless flow of aromas & flavors with beginning, middle & finish. A harmony that can’t be achieved by blending.
Distilled tea gins capture the pure essence of the tea leaf with no distracting tea color or tannin of steeped or infused tea gins. The purity of tea aroma & flavor in a clear spirit.
THE SECRET
Perfume industry R&D to solve tea aroma and flavor stability that is lost after 7 days. Yes, we capture the tea flavor & aroma reflecting the tea leaf used!

"Bright black tea leaves greet the nose right away. Hints of citrus and lavender take a more prominent billing, while juniper sits squarely present in the background.
The palate is something quite special. It’s as bright as tea can possibly taste. Lemon black tea notes are present at first. Mid-palate, it's the flavor of black tea aroma. Fresh and slightly roasty, it’s really the best moment on this gin’s palate.
In short, if you like Earl Grey tea, Coit Earl Grey Gin is absolutely the gin for you.” Aaron Knoll the GIN is IN
Tasting Notes
ADDITIONAL INFO
We are inspired by the courage of Lillie Hitchcock Coit and pay tribute to her daring boldness.
We dare to create the truly exceptional. We challenge the notion of the traditional with unique, handcrafted elixirs that capture her fiery independent spirit. The label a see-through bottle incorporates Coit Tower into the bottle shape.
Long-time Napa Valley vintners, lovers of spirits and enamored by gin, we began this journey to capture the essence of each ingredient to craft…spirits with spirit. Owners Gerry & Linda Rowland established Coit Spirits in 2018.
Using foragers and wildcrafters, we find our herbs at peak maturity. The ratio of each ingredient affects the synergy of the final aromas and flavors. A botanical mix that looks good on paper may not succeed, and only taste will tell.
Wine generously allows you three to four weeks during the fermentation to get the basic product right. Gin gives you five hours to bring out the individual character of the botanicals during the distillation. Our amazing journey has brought us to crafting spirits… Trained by European Ginsmiths we felt perfectly prepared for the challenge, in addition to having harvested and bottled 52 vintages of wine in three countries, two hemispheres.
A G&T is a perfect way to express the tea notes.
