This gin makes brilliantly refreshing short drinks with just a bit of citrus or vermouth, and holds its own even when your G&T is prepared by someone prone to using too much tonic water. As the low sage aftertaste lingers, the floral-notes grow into a glow of violets. Floral and coriander flavors swirl beneath with a gently bitter juniper bite balancing it all. Locally grown sage is out front throughout, along with a grainy graham cracker and pastry crust impression. The American Gin is bold with an unctuousness that makes it a cocktail superstar. There is a recognizable State Line character running through all of these, from those Driftless region-grown grains and the choices made throughout the fermentation and distilling process. Riffing on that same 87% wheat and 13% barley base, State Line makes three different gins-their new London Dry Gin, their original American Gin, and Barreled Gin-and an Aquavit. “You’re used to drinking carbon-filtered industrial Neutral Grain Spirit,” I told my neighbor. The flavor gives an impression of challah and nutty wheat berries, plus a touch of lemon flesh, a whisper of allspice and, of course, alcohol. There are cereal and pastry-crust like aromas with low chamomile and roasted pear notes. The State Line Vodka that confused my neighbor manifests this approach in its barest form, showing off the flavor of wheat grown at Sprecher Farm in Lone Rock, Wisconsin, along with a bit of local barley.
