I’m always up for a stop into a Distillery that I might not be aware of if I hadn’t driven by, and I’m happy to report that Shedcat Distillery in South Lake Tahoe, California is more than worth a stop if you find yourself in the area. Their Dry Gin has a bright nose of properly present juniper, with fresh orange zest, fennel and some coriander popping up in the finish. It’s got subtle warming heat and lingers pleasantly. This is for classic gin lovers, and as I’ve seen with other alpine distillers, the mountain water quality seems to make a big difference, adding a minerality that make this unique. 93
