Purchase J.J. Pfister Capitol Gin

Capitol Gin offers a juniper-forward nose with a complex underlying aroma of fennel, citrus zest, and wild pine aromatics. The powerful palate is a mix of subtle spice flavors from cubeb berries, fennel and cardamom – leading to a balanced and refreshing finish.

At 94 proof, Capitol Gin is infused with 9 botanicals – juniper, orris root, angelica, cardamom, cubeb berries, coriander, lemongrass, fennel seed, and lavender – and then rests for 4 weeks to allow its full-flavor to shine. Each bottle is 750 mL.
