In the Expert Advice column, Nick Moran ranks New Deal Portland Dry Gin 33 number four of the ten best American small-batch gins.
“It’s common practice for distillers to add all sorts of botanicals to their blends, but that’s not the case with the New Deal Portland Dry Gin 33, which is based entirely off juniper berries. Remember that fact when you take your first sip of this distinctly modern gin, because it’ll feel like those citrus, mineral, and almost grassy notes came out of nowhere. For something a bit more challenging, you can also check out New Deal Old Tom Gin ($34.95), which draws its amber color and smooth, oaky flavors from the wine barrels in which it’s aged.”
