San Diego Gin, Navy Town Roots
Liberty Call Distilling — named for the Navy's word for shore leave — has been distilling in San Diego County since 2013, and its gin takes an unusual route: instead of a neutral grain base, the brand builds on evaporated cane juice (the same base as its rums), then vapour-infuses the botanicals so the juniper and coriander come through bright rather than stewed. The result leans floral and citrusy — lavender and chamomile character over a restrained juniper line — rather than pine-heavy. Browse it alongside the county's other craft bottles in our gin collection, or see the distillery's rums on the Liberty Call vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Bright citrus zest and flowers over soft juniper. Palate: Lavender and chamomile with layered herbs, citrus and a gentle juniper core. Finish: Refreshing citrus, clean and dry.
How to Enjoy
Pour it in a gin & tonic with a citrus twist to let the flowers lead, or in a Bee's Knees where its floral side and the honey pull in the same direction.
