FARMER'S RESERVE STRENGTH GIN
Farmer’s Reserve Strength Gin Produced Farm To Glass In Idaho Launching In Select Export Markets
Chatham Imports is launching Farmer’s Reserve Strength Gin produced in partnership with a family farm and a world-class distillery, both located in Idaho.
A bit bolder than our Organic Gin offering, Farmer’s Reserve Strength Gin is made in small batches from carefully selected botanicals and the purest non-GMO grains. Its remarkably balanced selection of botanicals include juniper, elderflower, lemongrass, coriander, and angelica root, which provide a rich complexity. Unlike Farmer's Organic Gin, it is not infused with hemp seed.
Farmer’s Reserve Strength Gin is made entirely in Idaho. Wheat grown at 1,000 Springs Mill Farm in Buhl is sent to Distilled Resources in Rigby, where the grain is fermented and distilled into a pristine base spirit that is then steeped in botanicals.
At the helm of 1,000 Springs Mill Farm is 3rd generation family farmer Tim Cornie. “I’m grateful to the Farmer’s Gin people for their desire to support our mission to make quality food accessible to all. I appreciate their trusting us to supply the wheat used to create this outstanding gin,” said Cornie.
“We can go from wheat to a finished bottle of Farmer’s Gin in six days while using water drawn exclusively from our well in the Snake River Aquifer,” said Gray Ottley, Distiller & President of Distilled Resources. “After over 34 years in business, we found that the quality of the agricultural material – most notably the wheat as well as the remarkable botanicals we select – is by far one of the most important parts of creating a premium gin. We pride ourselves on working closely with local farmers. Tim Cornie and his partner Kurt Mason are committed to growing exceptional grain by using their modern and responsible farming methods to achieve the highest quality possible,” remarked Ottley.
Chatham Imports President Joseph J. Magliocco commented, “In our 15 years of selling spirits, the Chatham team has never been more excited about offering one. To have the opportunity to work with extraordinary farmers Tim Cornie and Kurt Mason, who grow exceptional grain, and a truly gifted distiller like Gray Ottley is a dream come true. We think that the result of this collaboration is a wonderful gin with unique flavor that sets it apart.”
Farmer’s Reserve Strength Gin is bottled at 95.6 Proof (47.8% Alc./Vol.) and is available for a suggested retail price of $34.99.
