Rig Hand Wildrose Gin

Rig Hand Distillery Wildrose Gin is an unflavored craft spirit produced by Rig Hand Craft Distillery in Nisku, Alberta, Canada. True to their grain-to-glass ethos, the base spirit is distilled from 100% locally grown Alberta malted barley. The botanical profile celebrates Alberta’s provincial flower, incorporating wild rose hips and petals alongside traditional juniper, coriander, and citrus peel. The result is a smooth, floral-forward contemporary dry gin that balances crisp piney juniper with soft floral notes and a rich, grainy backbone.

Food Pairing: Smoked salmon crostini, goat cheese salads, roasted lemon-herb chicken, fresh berry tarts, and charcuterie boards.

Tasting Notes: Crystal clear in appearance with a rich, smooth, and slightly velvety mouthfeel.

Nose: Fragrant and floral up front, featuring distinct wild rose petal aromas and soft citrus, underlaid by clean piney juniper and warm grain sweetness.

Palate: Well-rounded and harmonious on the palate, opening with delicate floral rose notes and zesty orange peel, transitioning into resinous pine juniper, coriander spice, and a rich malted barley depth.

Finish: Medium-long, clean, and elegant with lingering notes of wild rose, subtle wood spice, and a crisp juniper closure.

Serve: Serve over ice topped with premium Indian or Mediterranean tonic water, garnished with a dried rosebud or a slice of fresh grapefruit, or build into a French 75, Gin Sour, or Southside.
