Bourbon may be our first love here at Black Button Distilling, but gin is a close second! So much so that we have two of the five Gin Guild members outside of the United Kingdom right here at our distillery. Started in London in the 1600s, the Gin Guild promotes and encourages commitment to excellence in gin distillation. 

Starting with an ultra-refined wheat-based spirit and infusing an alluring blend of botanicals, creates an exotic citrus experience that will have you coming back for more. Our Citrus Forward Gin can capture the hearts of the strongest gin critics, even those that are sure gin is just not their spirit. 

Named “The Official Gin of Summer” by Food and Beverage Magazine, the rich and juicy orange delivers a bold fruit taste and is a perfect match for the New York State Cascade hops and delicate notes of juniper. Citrus Forward will add a unique character to any cocktail.

If you have never been a fan of the strong ‘tree’ flavor of gin, we encourage you to give gin another chance! It will put a twist on a classic Gin and Tonic, but is refined and smooth enough to be used in a Dry Gin Martini. The Black Button Team suggests using Citrus Forward in a classic Bee’s Knees cocktail; just add lemon juice and honey syrup (1:1 honey to boiling water), shake with ice and pour — perfect for porch sipping on a hot summer day.

Named World’s Best Rye-2018 by World Whiskies Awards,9 Liquid Golds from Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible and 2-time US Micro-Whiskey of the Year (Runner-up 2020, 2018), multiple Double-Gold in San Francisco World Spirits Competition, nods from IWSC and Spirits Business Journal…

291 Colorado Whiskey embodies traditions of the past married with the boldness of the future. That said, what will always define Distillery 291 is its spirit, passion permeates every sip.

291’s High Rye Colorado Bourbon was first created by accident when a double dose of rye was added to the bourbon recipe. After aging, the result was a delicious, complex bourbon that strikes a balance between 291’s Colorado Bourbon Whiskey and its Colorado Whiskey. This whiskey has a spice and fruitiness to round out the vanilla and oak. Made from corn, malted rye and malted barley mash. Presented at barrel proof.

“291 HR Colorado Bourbon whiskey greets your nose with fresh baked cinnamon rolls (emphasis on the cinnamon) and leather dusted with cocoa powder. Apricot and peach rings, along with toffee round out the sweetness, with cedar and pecans adding an earthy quality to the aroma. The cedar and cinnamon hit your palate upfront upon the first sip, and the toffee and leather move in right behind. Dried apricots guide the transition into the lengthy and spicy finish of oak, pepper, and cinnamon. This is a deliciously autumnal whiskey.”

NOTES OF SCENT & FLAVOR: APRICOT AND PEACH RINGS | TOFFEE | LEATHER, CEDAR, OAK | CINNAMON, PEPPER | PECANS

Diplomtico is an independent and family-owned brand that is focused on producing rum of the finest quality. Founded in 1959, their distillery is situated by the Andes Mountains in Venezuela with access to pure water and close to sugar processing plants. Their line features a range of award-winning and highly-regarded column, batch kettle, and pot still rums. They are involved with the community and employ sustainable production practices. Named Diplomtico in honor of the statesman who brought order and balance to a restless era in Venezuela during the 19th century, the 18th-century distiller Don Juancho Nieto Melndez also known as El Ambassador these rums are the exquisite product of Venezuela's warm, tropical climate. The sunny days, cool nights, constant breeze, and abundant rainfall create an idyllic environment for growing and cultivating juicy, fresh sugarcane. The sugarcane is harvested, fermented, and distilled into rum, before being aged in a range of bourbon, port, and sherry casks. They are then masterfully blending by the hands of Tito Cordero, Diplomtico's maestro ronero. The N3 Pot Still Rum expression is the third and final entry in The Distillery Collection which contains three special edition rums, each distilled a different way. This one was distilled using discontinuous copper-pot stills that came to the La Miel distillery in 1959. It was crafted using the finest sugar cane honeys and aged in small American white oak barrels. It's the most complex and heavy of the three expressions.

In 1895, Samuele Sebastiani emigrated to the United States from Tuscany. A stonemason by trade, he quarry-mined the hills of Sonoma, California for the cobblestones used to build the streets of San Francisco. For nearly a decade, he worked long hours, lived frugally and saved carefully, and in 1904, Sebastiani purchased enough land in Sonoma to open the doors to Sebastiani Winery. Sebastiani's tireless work ethic quickly made the winery successful, and Sebastiani Winery was the only winery in Sonoma to remain open during Prohibition. Today, August Sebastiani, Samuele's great-grandson, is the President of 35 Maple Street Distillery, the makers of Uncle Val's Botanical Gin. The gin is named after Vaerio Cecchetti, Sebastiani's favorite uncle and a retired physician near Lucca, Italy. "In addition to being a highly regarded doctor, Uncle Val is a great cook and avid gardener," says Sebastiani. The botanicals used in the gin juniper, lemon, sage, lavender and cucumber "are the same as those Uncle Val likes to use in his cooking and grows in his home garden." Awarded an astounding 96 points by The Tasting Panel, Uncle Val's Botanical Gin has a complex yet subtle flavor profile. Sebastiani uses immersion bags (think big tea bags) in order to infuse the gin with the flavors from the botanicals. The immersion bags are steeped in the gin for several hours, although some remain in the gin longer in order to impart a stronger aroma and flavor. The lemon adds a burst of crispy citrus flavor which is balanced by the calming effect of the sage. While the lavender provides for an elegant, refined aroma, the cucumber adds a cooling, subtle freshness. After the gin is distilled five times over, Sebastiani's team filters it using carbon and lava rock (or pumice), which has a porous density that's perfect for filtering gin. After filtration, the gin is brought to proof using naturally sweet spring water from the Cascade Mountains before being bottled and labeled by hand. "Gin was invented in the Netherlands by a doctor, Franciscus Sylvius, who was a professor of medicine in Leyden, Holland, back in the 1650s," Sebastiani says. "He was trying to find a cure-all for kidney and stomach disorders, so he infused juniper berries into distilled spirits. The elixir became so popular that distillers began commercial production and by the end of the 1680s, the Dutch were exporting more than 10 million gallons of gin each year. Gin is the only spirit that started out as a medicine, so it's fitting that we named ours after Uncle Val."

SMALL-BATCH STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY

Delicious and sweet with cherry and citrus on the nose, vanilla and caramel on the tongue and an intricate finish of toffee and toasted oak. Enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, this smooth blend will delight werewolves and humans alike.

Utilizing four distinct agave harvests from diverse terroir, each with its own unique profile, we present four tequila expressions. Our 8-month reposado in American oak, 2-year añejo in American oak, 3-year extra añejo in French oak, and 5-year extra añejo in American oak each reveal nuanced flavors. Blending them in precise proportions highlights their individual qualities, resulting in a sophisticated spirit with unparalleled balance and complexity. Our cooking process involves slow cooking in autoclaves, while juice extraction is carried out using customized standard mills. Fermentation utilizes proprietary and natural occurring yeast, and distillation occurs in copper pots.

Our bespoke blend of charcoal-filtered aged rums originate from Trinidad and Nicaragua, before making their way to Petaluma, CA.

There we infuse with a unique mix of Californian flowers, herbs, seeds, roots and bark to create a botanical delight that carries you from the waterfalls of Yosemite to the crashing waves of the Lost Coast.

The botanicals create a pine and floral base, while adding a dry and crisp finish to Callisto. The blend of rum builds a fullness of flavor through their creamy texture and a hint of salty sweetness. Both pair perfectly to produce an incredibly smooth and distinctly Californian spirit.
