When I first learned that Benham’s Sonoma Dry Gin hailed from, well, Sonoma County, I was a bit perplexed.
But thanks to local microdistiller Graton Distilling Co., one of the best things coming out of California wine country today isn't wine
Graton has taken classic components of Juniper, Coriander, and local citrus to new heights by adding a touch of chamomile, mint and exotic warm spice elements.
It’s these herbs and spices that really set this gin apart for me, as I outlined in a recent Chamomile Gin Old Fashioned I created using their barrel rested gin (also highly recommended).
