CASTLE & KEY RELEASES AUTUMN 2020 LONDON DRY GIN
This Year’s Autumn Gin Reimagines What Gin Can Be With Notes of Fall Flavor Fit for the Season

FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY – September 16, 2020 – Since restoring the Old Taylor Distillery in 2014, the founders of Castle & Key Distillery have been committed to reimagining how Kentucky spirits are presented to the world by producing unique expressions each year. In keeping with this approach, Castle & Key releases its third limited-edition seasonal gin, Autumn 2020 London Dry Gin, which sets itself apart from other gins by its smokey, woodsy flavor, created through a combination of 12 botanicals, including some that haven’t been used in Castle & Key recipes before. Castle & Key’s Autumn 2020 London Dry Gin will be available this month in Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee.

“Our Autumn 2020 Gin reimagines what traditional gin is by adding an element of smoke and woodsy tones, similar to those seen in mezcals and peated whiskies,” says Jon Brown, Quality Manager at Castle & Key Distillery. “This release required 12 unique botanicals, like Cedar Leaf, Spicebush, Caraway and Orris Root, in order to create balance and allow the flavors to blend together, and we look forward to continuing to create diversity in the market by focusing on producing high-quality spirits rather than focusing on consistency.”
