We deviated from the standard London Dry style to create a unique and refreshing perspective with floral and citrus notes unseen in this category. For citrus we use freshly peeled pink grapefruit. Elderflower, hibiscus, and chamomile give Oppidan American Botanical Gin a light floral nose balanced by the spice of ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon. The result is a superbly balanced gin that works well neat or in your favorite gin cocktails.
Our Solera Aged Bourbon continues our philosophy of controlled experimentation. Made from a 5-grain mashbill of corn, malted rye, chocolate malted rye, special B, & 2 row barley, it then enters a unique solera aging process across 3 different wood types: American oak, French oak, & Oloroso sherry casks. The French oak & Oloroso casks are never emptied, creating continuity & increased complexity over time.
Oppidan Four Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a combination of bourbon's major grains: corn, wheat, rye, and malt. Mash bill is 68% corn, 14% wheat, 9% rye, 9% malt. Crafted to optimize the balance between the sweet silky mouthfeel from wheat with the spiciness of rye. At 100 proof it will stand up in any of your favorite cocktails, while remaining smooth and enjoyable as a neat pour.
Oppidan Smoke + Sea is a combination of our 4 Grain Straight Bourbon and Solera Aged Bourbon mash bills, finished in French oak and peated Islay scotch barrels. The French oak adds structure and dark fruit notes while the Islay casks add a layer of smoke, earth, and sea to our already malty and chocolaty bourbon. Bourbon on the nose and front palette with a briny and peaty finish.
