Gray Whale Gin uses six California botanicals sourced along the gray whale's migration route: Big Sur juniper, Temecula lime, Sonoma fir, Mendocino kombu, Santa Cruz mint and Central Valley almonds. It is distilled seven times and bottled at 43%.
The brand was founded in 2016 by Marsh and Jan Mokhtari, gives to ocean charity Oceana, and joined Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits in 2019. In the glass it is sweet, herbal and zesty, with a light briny, nutty edge from the kombu and almond.
For a coastal-style highball, Gray Whale is a better match than a classic London Dry; for a savoury Mediterranean take, compare Gin Mare. For another Californian gin, try St. George Botanivore.
Serve it with soda or tonic and a lime wheel, or in a Gimlet.
It is a good choice for anyone who wants a gin with a clear sense of place. More bottles are under gin, and the rest of our liquor is a click away. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery across NYC.
