The nose is both herbal and resinous, with juniper and lavender sharing the lead, supported by a warm spice note and subtle citrus peel. The palate is round and full-bodied for an American craft gin, with anise, chamomile, and a long, slightly sweet finish that avoids the thin texture of many New Western expressions.

Forthave Spirits is a small Brooklyn distillery founded in 2017 by two bartenders with a background in aperitivo and amaro culture. Their Blue Gin uses a maceration-then-distillation process across a range of Mediterranean and American botanicals. The name references the apothecary tradition; Forthave positions each product as a botanical remedy in the historical sense. Small-batch, pot-distilled in Brooklyn.
