Distillation and production
Production method
Produced in small batches (small-batch) using fresh ingredients; initial contract production at Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery (Hudson Valley) and later presence with a tasting room and production/operational activities in Red Hook (Brooklyn). The brand reports manual practices for preparing the peels and juniper.
Distillation
Small-batch: botanicals (including fresh citrus and juniper) are used during distillation; the product is then filtered (cold filtration reported in sales technical sheets).
Producer history Brooklyn
The Brooklyn Gin project was launched in 2010 by Emil Jättne and Joe Santos. Initially the product was produced in collaboration with third-party facilities (including Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery, in New York State). Over the years the brand expanded its range to include a ready-to-drink line (Brooklyn Gin & Soda) and opened a tasting room/space in Red Hook, Brooklyn (operational address indicated by the producer).
Production philosophy
Focus on artisanal processing and ingredient freshness: the brand emphasizes the use of fresh citrus peels, hand-crushed juniper and traditional techniques to achieve a vibrant gin designed to be perfect in cocktails but also enjoyable neat.
Territory

Awards and recognitions
Awards reported in technical sheets and by retailers: double gold medal at the New York World Wine & Spirits Competition (2015) and recognitions at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (gold / double gold reported in various product sheets and reviews).
