Review: Greenbar City Bright Gin

by Jeff Ellingson

Greenbar City Bright Gin was launched August 2017.  National distribution will follow early 2018.  The husband and wife team of Melkon Khoskovian and Litty Matthew have crafted a gin to honor the many flavors of the vibrant immigrant Los Angeles food scene.  From the aromatic herbs of East and South Asia, to floral and earthy flavors of Mexico, and the Middle East, this is how Angelenos eat.  Did I mention Litty is a Cordon Bleu trained chef.  City Bright Gin is made from their Tru Organic Vodka base.  Organic Juniper Berries sourced from scenic groves in Bulgaria, ancho chiles, angelica, basil, California Bay, cardamom, cassia, coriander, cubib, black cumin, fennel, grapefruit, lemon balm, lemon, lemongrass, kaffir lime, lime, pink peppercorn, Sichuan peppercorn, peppermint, spearmint, and star anise are steeped for 7-10 days and then re-distilled in a pot still.  Vapor path distillation is not used because they want the biggest/boldest flavors and aromas.  This translates into better richer cocktails.       The aroma is juniper berry, peppermint, spearmint, cardamom, coriander, and ancho chili, with lemon balm brightening a fresh citrus backing.  The minty fresh entry has both peppermint and spearmint flavor balanced by juniper and citrus.  At the midpoint fennel and spicy pepper flavor arrive filling my mouth with the warmth of peppers not alcohol.  It fades with cardamom and cumin before finishing with basil, and bay leaf, leaving tart and minty kaffir lime, grapefruit, juniper and lemon grass taste.  Drinking Greenbar City Bright Gin is a little like a scavenger hunt.  Each time I take a sip I discover another fresh flavor.
