Here at 117° West Spirits we produce high quality west coast-inspired craft spirits that reflect the innovative nature and laid back mentality of our native state - California. With nearly two decades of homebrewing experience and a doctorate in chemistry from UC San Diego, our head distiller Justin McCabe has chosen to weave these two passions together to reinterpret traditional spirit recipes.
117° West Gin is a traditional style Genever with a West Coast twist. Genever is the original gin from Holland produced beginning in the 1600s. This traditional style is pot-distilled from malted grain (barley, wheat and rye). The fresh West Coast twist is the addition of hops along with hibiscus, white sage and cacao nibs. Tastes delicious in a Negroni or Tom Collins, also pairs well with ginger in a Gin Buck or makes an amazing Gin ‘n Tonic. Our distiller likes it neat.
