What is Astraea Ocean Gin?
Astraea Ocean Gin captures the essence of the sea with its briny, mineral-rich profile, crafted by one of only four Americans ever inducted into London's prestigious Gin Guild since 1638. This coastal spirit is not only organic and distilled to strict EU regulations, making it arguably the cleanest U.S. gin on the market, but it's also produced by one of the few female Master Distillers in America, adding a unique perspective to the traditionally male-dominated world of spirits.
Why do we love Astraea Ocean Gin?
Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Astraea Ocean Gin for its unique coastal character, crafted by one of the few female Master Distillers in the U.S. who's also inducted into London's prestigious Gin Guild. This organic, EU regulation-compliant gin stands out with its meticulous one-pass distillation process and true distiller's cut, resulting in a cleaner, more refined spirit that captures the essence of the ocean while meeting the highest standards of London Dry gin production.
How do you drink Astraea Ocean Gin?
Astraea Ocean Gin shines in classic gin cocktails like martinis and gin and tonics, where its bold juniper and subtle coastal notes can take center stage, but it's equally enjoyable sipped neat or over ice to fully appreciate its complex flavor profile. This versatile spirit is perfect year-round, but especially refreshing on warm summer evenings, pairing beautifully with seafood dishes, light salads, and briny cheeses that complement its oceanic essence.
Nose: Clean juniper leads, backed by a subtle mineral quality reminiscent of sea air. Hints of warm spice and citrus peel emerge, with a faint briny undertone that evokes coastal walks.
Palate: Smooth and full-bodied. Crisp juniper takes center stage, balanced by a delicate saltiness. Layers of botanicals unfold, revealing notes of coriander, angelica, and a touch of citrus zest. The gin's organic nature shines through in its pure, well-defined flavors.
Finish: Long and warming. Juniper lingers pleasantly, accompanied by a gentle spice. A subtle, savory salinity persists, reminiscent of ocean mist. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a slight mineral dryness that invites another sip.
Astraea Ocean Gin is crafted using a 500-gallon Vendome copper pot still in the London Dry style, with all botanicals macerated and distilled together in a single pass. What sets it apart is the meticulous distillation process: it's a true distiller's cut made every time, with proper heads cuts and no tails extension, resulting in a cleaner, more refined spirit that adheres to stringent EU regulations for base spirit purity.
