Our award-winning Roots of Ruin Gin is crafted with eight complex botanicals. The finished product? Each of the ingredients has the chance to shine–especially the three that are most unique to us: chamomile, ginger, and rosemary giving our gin a bright and unique flavor profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 106 Proof (ABV 53%)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTHE DISTILLERY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"235\" width=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0046\/7658\/3489\/files\/Castle_Key_PrimaryLogo_480x480.jpg?v=1677181575\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Old Taylor Distillery has a revered place in Kentucky distilling history. In 1887, when Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. built the distillery, he intended it to both produce high-quality spirits and stand out from the crowd with its distinctive architectural charm to become the birthplace of bourbon tourism. Inspired by European architecture, the site features a Castle, a classical Springhouse, and Sunken Garden. In 1920, however, Prohibition forced the closing of the distillery and over the course of the next century, the property changed owners and occupants several times, until it fell into ruin. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIn 2014, Will Arvin (the modern founder of Castle \u0026amp; Key) began restoring this historic bourbon icon with a focus on changing the narrative around Kentucky spirits. He created a team of likeminded people from inside and outside the industry to resurrect the castle by creating Castle \u0026amp; Key Distillery, which opened its doors in 2018. Taking up Colonel Taylor’s dedication to his home state, Castle \u0026amp; Key strives to use local ingredients when possible. Castle \u0026amp; Key makes everything that they sell from carefully selected grains and always chooses to do things in a thoughtful way – even when it’s not the easy way. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0046\/7658\/3489\/files\/DistilleryShot_480x480.jpg?v=1677181565\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLEAD BLENDER: Brett Connors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0046\/7658\/3489\/files\/Castle_Key_BrettConnors_Portrait011_480x480.jpg?v=1677180480\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAWARDS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"listitem\" class=\"w-dyn-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"award---content-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"129\" width=\"129\" src=\"https:\/\/uploads-ssl.webflow.com\/62ded2de5a348d7231383011\/6364245d96efb701cf914987_2022%20SFWSC%20Gold%20Med.%20Artwork.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"San Francisco Spirits Competition - Gold\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"award---name\"\u003eSan Francisco Spirits Competition - Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"award---year\"\u003e2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"listitem\" class=\"w-dyn-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"award---content-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"147\" width=\"147\" src=\"https:\/\/uploads-ssl.webflow.com\/62ded2de5a348d7231383011\/636423aedfc4d12d5a4b4fe2_Ultimate%20Spirits%20Challenge%C2%A02022%20-%2091.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Ultimate Spirits Challenge - 91 Points\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"award---name\"\u003eUltimate Spirits Challenge - 91 Points\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"award---year\"\u003e2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"listitem\" class=\"w-dyn-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"award---content-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"182\" width=\"182\" src=\"https:\/\/uploads-ssl.webflow.com\/62ded2de5a348d7231383011\/63642b9da564c561a14a87ec_sanfrancisco-2021-silver.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"San Francisco Spirits Competition - Silver\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"award---name\"\u003eSan Francisco Spirits Competition - Silver\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"award---year\"\u003e2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTASTING NOTES \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting from a base of our rye whiskey newmake, our Roots of Ruin Gin is vapor distilled drawing bright and complex flavors from a series of eight botanicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kirksweeney-profile-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ks-profile-text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kirksweeney-profile-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"ks-profile-title\"\u003eCOCKTAIL RECIPES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha Matcha Man\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngredients\u003cbr\u003e1.5 oz Roots of Ruin Gin\u003cbr\u003e0.5 oz Apricot Brandy\u003cbr\u003e1 oz Pineapple Juice\u003cbr\u003e0.5 oz half and half\u003cbr\u003e1 barspoon Matcha Coco Cream\u003cbr\u003eInstructions\u003cbr\u003e Combine all ingredients in shaker with ice.
