After nearly two and a half years of research and trials, Manifest Distilling will release its Florida Botanical Gin. This newest certified organic gin highlights a delicate balance of botanicals that can all be found growing within Florida. An homage to our home’s largest agricultural industry, it contains three different citrus varieties: orange, lemon and grapefruit. Accentuated with the fresh, sweet, and earthy flavors of sumac, elderberries, orris root, rosehip and blackberry leaves, the result is a delicate, airy spirit that blooms with an array of citrus and floral notes.

“We approach all our spirits with the intention of showing a sense of place. Our Florida Botanical Gin is the first in our lineup where we looked to the flavors within our state to develop a profile highlighting the terroir of local agriculture. The result is something beautiful, balanced, delicate and round," ​says David Cohen, President of Manifest Distilling.

The Florida Botanical Gin will be available starting on Friday, March 19 from 2-7PM in Manifest Distilling’s tasting room in Downtown Jacksonville. It will be sold in 750ml bottles for $36.
