Karner Blue Gin is produced by Flag Hill in Lee, New Hampshire. First launched in fall 2011, it uses a base spirit distilled from local apples and features botanicals including juniper, cinnamon, cubeb berries, lemon, orange, orris root and savory. The gin is named after the Karner Blue butterfly, New Hampshire’s state butterfly.
A good amount of depth, and a unique enough flavor profile makes this an enjoyable and unique gin that is worth of a purchase— especially for fans of floral contemporary gin.
Bold lemon and grapefruit notes meld with a light floral note and just enough juniper to hold it all together. Amid the bright citrus bouquet, you might detect another, more elusive fruity scent.
