Black Button Distillery

Black Button Barrel Reserve Gin

Black Button Barrel Reserve Gin holds a special place in the Black Button team's hearts. The combination of their two true small batch distilling loves. Their classic Citrus Forward Gin, but enhanced by resting in their used bourbon barrels for a period of time. They find these qualities make this gin an easy sipping gin served neat, on the rocks, or mixed in your favourite cocktail.

Black Button American Dry Gin

In April 2017, Jeff Fairbrother, in recognition of his role in gin production, was welcomed into the Gin Guild as a Warden Nominated Rectifier, only the 4th American to be installed in this prestigious organisation. The Gin Guild is an international not for profit, member funded gin industry that promotes and encourages commitment to excellence in gin distillation and industry custodianship of the gin category. It was incorporated by the historic London based Worshipful Company of Distillers, who themselves were incorporated by Royal Charter in 1638, and which has been involved in the distilling industry ever since. American Dry Gins are made to explore a more complex aromatic element using traditional botanicals that complement and balance each other. Our use of Cubeb Berries and Chamomile give a unique twist to this classic spirit, creating a Gin that would be right at home here in New York or across the pond!

Black Button Citrus Forward Gin

Rich and juicy orange delivers a bold fruit taste that 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 with a twist on a classic Gin and Tonic, but is refined and smooth enough to be used in a Dry Gin Martini.

Black Button Lilac Gin

This Black Button Lilac Gin brilliantly blooms once a year in limited quantities. They make Lilac Gin each spring as a complement to Rochester’s rich festival and floral history. Once known as The Flower/Flour City, they recognise Rochester’s roots with a gin that sports a beautiful bouquet of lilac, lavender, rose, and hibiscus tasting notes. Each flower petal is steeped, distilled, and recombined to create a light and delicate flavour.
