Begins with soft red winter wheat cultivated on the farm, which provides a smooth, mellow base that lets a vibrant array of botanicals shine. Inspired by a London dry style, our gin features classic juniper and coriander layered with herbs like rosemary, thyme, dill seed, celery leaf, and lemon verbena, all cultivated by Granor. The result is a bright, aromatic gin that captures the essence of the farm's ecosystem.
During the fall of 2014, Granor Farm began its foray into cultivating organic grain with planting just a few acres of winter rye. In July of the following year, with a combine that predated World War II, and an undeniable amount of beginner’s luck, we successfully completed our first rye harvest.
Over the last four years, we have set aside some of our rye and wheat harvest for our own whiskey, currently aging in American White Oak barrels, with the remainder of our grains used by a local distillery, nearby breweries, and organic livestock producers. Later this year, Granor Farm plans to bottle its own whiskey, which will be available on a very limited basis.
As with all of our crops, we believe that our grains must be produced in a way that is good for our soil, good for the people that tend it, and good for those in our community who share in the harvest with us. We’re not just producing high quality products; with each crop we grow, we’re telling a story about where our food comes from.
