FAQs

Ginkins Gin is crafted in small batches using a meticulous distillation process and a deep respect for Kentucky’s natural resources—especially our limestone-filtered water. Each bottle reflects bold botanical character, exceptional balance, and intentional craftsmanship.

Our gin is distilled in Louisville, Kentucky, a region known for world-class spirits. The purity and minerality of Louisville’s water play a key role in shaping our clean, crisp flavor.

Ginkins Gin is crafted by Scott Ginkins, a master distiller with 35+ years in manufacturing and specialized training from Heriot-Watt University’s distilling program in Edinburgh, Scotland. His passion for precision and flavor drives every batch.

Each Ginkins expression features a curated blend of botanicals:

• Louisville Dry Gin: Juniper, coriander, angelica, cardamom, orris root, citrus peels, and more.
• Golden Bloom (Elderflower): Elderflower, orange peel, juniper, and complementary botanicals.
• Heritage Reserve: A warm, spiced botanical profile with depth and aromatic richness.

Every blend is natural, intentional, and crafted for balance and flavor.

No. Gin receives its flavor from botanicals through infusion and distillation—not barrel aging. Some brands experiment with barrel-aged gin, but it's optional and not required. Ginkins Gin is crafted traditionally for clarity, freshness, and flavor integrity.
