Overview

Junipero Gin is made by hand in the classic “distilled dry gin” tradition, utilizing more than a dozen botanicals in their natural state, in a small copper pot still at our little distillery on Potrero Hill in San Francisco. The history of gin goes back at least to the mid-1600’s in Holland, but its true antecedents are much earlier, those first experiments in the ancient and mysterious art of distilling in the presence of herbs and spices. The predominant flavor and aroma of a modern gin will always come from juniper (dried berries of the “common juniper,” Juniperus communis). But the wonderful challenge for the distiller is in selecting and blending from a wide variety of additional, exotic botanicals in order to impart a uniquely satisfying, balanced character to his gin. At Anchor Distilling we have taken delight in the adventure of researching and experimenting with many such botanicals. Our final formula must remain a secret, but we hope you will agree that we have achieved a distinctive, intriguing complexity in our Junípero Gin: light and crisp and clean, combining a deep and mysterious spiciness with subtle delicacy.

Critics at Wine Enthusiast, Drinkhacker and Paste call Junipero Gin one of the best American gins made today: juniper-forward yet balanced, with lime peel, anise and a whisper of lavender. Unfiltered, 49.3% ABV San Francisco classic since 1996 that makes a serious martini.

Reviews

A favorite gin of mine!

"I am a sucker for a wonderful locally distilled whiskey being a native of northern California. I can always count on Junipero Gin, which makes great drinks! I enjoy mixing it with Fever Tree Elderflower tonic for a fantastic G&T, and my husband enjoys it with their Indian tonic. It's also smooth served neat and cold. This gin has a strong juniper flavor and a crisp finish."

— Everden (5/5)

The top of its class

"This dry gin with a juniper focus is incredibly smooth and well-balanced. It has a strong flavor and is smooth. This ought to be your go-to dry gin if you enjoy American-style gins. traditional citrus and juniper flavors and smells. It goes down far too easily, so you'll need to buy more than one bottle of this."

— Khalel A. (5/5)

Increasing the volume to 11, Juniper

"What amazing aroma, wow! Simply crack open the bottle and inhale the juniper. reminds me of a pasture on a misty Spring day. As said, there is a ton of juniper, but the finish also has citrus and pepper. The best martini gin available, possibly."

— Freddie225 (5/5)

The best-ever Negroni

"Makes a wonderful martini, but the Negroni is where Junipero really comes into its own. Prior to spotting a bottle of this (at last!) on the shelf at my neighborhood Tipxy, Hendrick's was my preferred gin. I quickly purchased it and haven't purchased anything else since."

— Segal (5/5)

What does a name mean? Obviously, juniper!

"Who would have guessed that an American gin would itch my particular itch in the absence of my all-time favorite Plymouth Navy Strength, which is currently unavailable (September 2021). Not that Junipero is even close to a replacement in my opinion. This gin is strong and rich, especially if you're looking for a robust juniper scent that can compete with any GT. Although the tastes make it a tempting proposition, Junipero's 49. 3% alcohol content makes it a little too strong for drinking. Grab a bottle of this if you enjoy gin that is genuinely bold."

— Eric T. (5/5)

Hidden Gin

"Absolute favorite gin right now. At first, it tastes a little bit sweet and fruity, but it definitely ends with a pepper kick. However, less pepper while on ice. Be careful not to use this to put yourself in trouble. Although it is very hydrating and simple to consume, its 49. 3% alcohol content makes it easy to get into trouble. Since it now comes in a noticeably different, hideously unattractive bottle (which I can see here), I tried to buy some today but was unsuccessful because I couldn't locate it anywhere. This is an odd move on the part of the manufacturer, but what do I know about marketing? It's reasonably priced and quite good. Definitely suggest."

— Derek R. (5/5)

Top of the Line products available

"In Chicago, a limo driver gave me a free bottle of juniper, and I really liked it. It costs a bit more than Rampur, but it's well worth it. I heartily endorse this gin."

— Felicity (5/5)

Really excellent fresh flavor

"Wonderfully new! This is my favorite gin by far and is reasonably priced. I've only recently started drinking it. the greatest at making G and Ts. - need nothing special or additional to blend."

— Kelvin (5/5)

A Study in Excess

"I wish I could describe the flavor of this gin and whether it is nice. Unfortunately, the absurdly high alcohol content (96+ percent) makes it impossible to taste anything other than booze."

— Wendel32 (1/5)

Yummy and junipery in flavor!

"One of the best gins I've ever had is this one. Delicious with a ton of taste and juniper (thus the name). Pair it with elderflower and its a delight!"

— Rex27 (5/5)
