72 Mile Backcountry Gin is a spirit that hails from the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains and draws its essence from the pristine waters of Lake Tahoe. Crafted with care, it is non-chill filtered and proofed with the pure essence of the lake. They mash and cook their grains in 150-gallon batches before being transferred to a fermentation tank, where the magic of yeast takes over.

The nose enchants with dominant juniper notes, accompanied by a citrus and coriander ensemble, whisking you away to the raw allure of Tahoe's wild backcountry.

About Gin
According to Winston Churchill, "The gin and tonic has saved more Englishmen's lives and minds than all the doctors in the Empire," referring to the British officers using it to treat malaria in India.
Initially made for medicinal purposes, gin gets most of its flavor from the juniper berries added after the distillation process. It sure has come a long way from the Middle Ages, with the introduction of new botanicals, fruits, and spices, bringing it closer to people of all flavor varieties.
A rich infusion of juniper dominates the nose, accompanied by vibrant citrus and hints of coriander. The palate is steeped in the essence of juniper, intertwined with the zestiness of orange and lively citrus undertones. The finish ends with a juniper character, complemented by tangy citruses.
