Cutler's Artisan Spirits Dry Gin 92
Cutler's Artisan Spirits Dry Gin 92 is a 92-proof (46% ABV), 750mL New Western–style dry gin handcrafted at Cutler's copper pot stills in Santa Barbara's Funk Zone, California. The "92" is the proof — and the point: this is a bright, complex, refreshing gin that deliberately refuses to be juniper-forward, built instead on locally grown California citrus, elderflower, jasmine, and cardamom over a traditional juniper–coriander–angelica base. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Santa Barbara's Answer to Gin
Cutler's is a true California craft distillery — small-batch, copper pot stills, locally sourced ingredients in the Funk Zone — and Dry Gin 92 is its flagship argument that gin doesn't have to taste like a pine forest. The citrus and elderflower lead, the jasmine lifts, the cardamom adds a spicy edge, and the juniper stays in the background where the New Western style wants it. At 92 proof it has the backbone for a proper martini. Fans of modern gin who found London Dry too austere should give this a pour.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand: bright, complex, and refreshing — citrus-forward with floral elderflower and jasmine notes, a spicy cardamom lift, and juniper in support rather than command. Clean and vibrant, built for martinis and highballs.
How to Enjoy
A dry martini with a lemon twist is the showcase serve; it also shines on the rocks or in a Tom Collins. Pair with light seafood or citrus-forward dishes. Explore more gins to compare Old World and New Western styles side by side.
