Producer history Junipero

Junipero was introduced in 1996 by Anchor Distilling Company (the company that later became Hotaling & Co.). Launched as one of the early American craft gins of the modern era, it helped define the craft gin movement in the United States. Hotaling & Co. now holds the brand in its portfolio; in February 2026 the company announced the closure of distillation operations at the Pier 50 site in San Francisco and stated it will seek contract producers for future production while retaining stocks of bottled product and bulk for distribution.

Production philosophy

Strong focus on juniper and citrus character, small-batch production, attention to ingredient quality and water purity; brand communication emphasizes handcrafting, a juniper-forward profile and the tradition of copper still distillation.
