Gaining popularity in the 17th century and still going strong today, gin lovers can tell you they appreciate the herbal flavors derived from juniper berries and citrus that make a wonderful array of cocktails.
In the past, gin was once used for medicinal reasons. As you devour a cocktail, tell yourself that you are indeed “drinking to your health”. Now you no longer need to rely on imported gin, we can covet our own hometown made, award-winning Bluecoat® American Dry Gin.
Philadelphia Distilling relocated to a prime location in Fishtown much to the praise of anyone who truly appreciates a classic cocktail such as Gin and Tonic, Negroni, Gimlet, and of course Martini (which should always be stirred and not shaken).
Visitors can schedule a tour to explore Philadelphia Distilling’s operation room where the gin is made, a tasting room and liquor store (where you can buy your own Bluecoat® American Gin or Barreled Finish Gin and branded merchandise). That’s not all, you can rent the space for events and spend time in the warmer months on the outdoor patio.
