“The Naturalist”
American Gin
The natural world shines through this perfectly balanced gin, made in small batches with real botanicals like juniper, cinnamon, citrus peels, elderflower and allspice.
We make “The Naturalist” from scratch, milling the grains, fermenting the mash, and distilling the spirit in two types of stills.
It’s time to get back to nature.

“Quite citrus forward at the get go, the juniper peeks out soon after. A fresh, fruity and semi-dry gin that is great on its own, or in citrus based cocktails.”
Still Austin makes everything from scratch, meaning we have our hands in the entire process. We mill the grains, we ferment the mash, and we distill the botanicals.
Buy nowWe focus on every detailed step to prepare this gin the right way—even using our own unaged rye whiskey as a base for the gin. Our Still Austin Gin touches two types of stills: our column still to craft the cleanest rye spirit base, and our copper-pot still to make sure the aromatics blend seamlessly.
