The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 2005 as Pennsylvania's first craft distillery since Prohibition, Philadelphia Distilling was established with the vision of revitalizing American distilling heritage. Bluecoat Gin was created as the brand's flagship product, celebrating the Bluecoats of the American Revolution and pioneering the modern 'American Dry' gin style.

How it is made

Handcrafted at Philadelphia Distilling, this spirit is custom-distilled in a hand-hammered copper pot still designed to maximize vapor-surface contact. The process emphasizes the extraction of bright citrus oils rather than heavy, pine-forward juniper elements.
