Historical Recreation Done Well
Chief Gowanus recreates the kind of gin that would have been drunk in old New Amsterdam. The genever character at 44% is authentic and well-executed. A niche product but a brilliant one.

Old World Meets New
The genever influence gives Chief Gowanus a malty, grainy character that's quite different from modern gins. At 44% ABV it's bold and flavourful. A must-try for gin historians.

Not for London Dry Fans
If you're expecting a classic juniper-forward gin, this genever style at 44% will surprise you. The malty richness dominates and the juniper takes a back seat. Interesting but not my preferred style.

Malty and Rich
The genever style suits this gin perfectly. There's a lovely grain character at 44% ABV that provides a foundation for earthy, herbal botanicals. Different from the usual but very welcome.
