Distillation and production
Distillation and production
Production method
Small-batch production. Bluecoat American Dry Gin is the base spirit; some expressions derive from barrel finishing (Barrel-Finished) or from maceration of fresh botanicals (Elderflower). The use of a proprietary blend of organic botanicals is declared.
Distillation
Small-batch distillation. For the Elderflower expression, flowers are macerated in the base spirit; for the Barrel-Finished version a barrel finishing process is applied.
Ageing
Finishing in American oak barrels; the Barrel-Finished expression is rested in American oak (new, charred) barrels for a period reported at around 8 months.
Producer history Bluecoat
Bluecoat was launched as a label of Philadelphia Distilling: Bluecoat American Dry Gin was introduced as an "American Dry" interpretation of gin and the brand later expanded with variants such as the Barrel-Finished and the Elderflower expression. The product is made and marketed in Philadelphia, with subsequent range extensions (including the barrel-finished and the Elderflower expression).
Production philosophy
The brand emphasizes artisanal practices, small-batch production and a responsible sourcing approach; its positioning evokes an 'All American' profile that values local production and a modern take on classic gin.
