BOTANICAL GIN
A gin with a beautiful citrus forward kick and a perfect meld with juniper and the rest of our botanicals. We wanted a gin that would bridge between the classic gin & tonic and an ice cold martini . We love the way it turned out and we think you will too.
It's the perfect gin for just sipping over ice with a twist if thats your preference.

They strived to craft an American Single Malt that would stop you in your tracks and bring you to say "That's the best whiskey i've ever tasted!"
"too bold? maybe... but we think we've done it!
The Briny Deep is the result of using grain locally grown and malted just down the road, sometimes arriving at the distillery still warm from the drying bins and tasting crispy and sweet . We double pot distill and make deep cuts so only our hearts go in the barrel and not the "hangover."
"There's love in that bottle!
And we hope you will agree that it just might be
the best whiskey you've tasted."
FirTop has a perfect meld of citrus and juniper with hints of coriander. It is truly delicious as a martini gin or a gin and tonic base, pure and bright in its flavor, perfection! We double distill in our pot stills, using only the finest ingredients including local grain and botanicals. We make deep cuts when we distill producing a product 2nd to none in quality and taste.
