To Life — Apples, Honey, and a Silver Medal
"L'chaim" means "to life" — the Jewish toast — and Batch Distillery built this gin around Rosh Hashanah's sweetest ritual: apples dipped in honey for a sweet new year. The result is the gentle counterpart to the distillery's bolder one-offs: heather honey and white flowers up front, a delicate herbal middle, apple lingering on the finish. USA Spirits Ratings judges gave it Silver in 2021 for its layered honey notes. Explore the store's Batch Distillery collection or browse more award-winning gin.
