McCormick Gin Extra Dry (750 ml)

McCormick Distilling Co., founded in Weston, Missouri in 1856, is one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in the United States — a longevity that reflects a deliberate focus on value-driven American spirits rather than premium positioning. Produced in the American Midwest, this Extra Dry Gin is built on a neutral grain spirit base, column-distilled to a clean, light profile, then re-distilled with a juniper-led botanical blend. Bottled at 40% ABV, it is not chill-filtered to a heavy degree, preserving what little botanical oil remains in the spirit. The botanical recipe leans toward the London Dry template — juniper dominant, with supporting citrus peel and coriander — though it carries no geographic appellation protection. What sets this expression apart within its price tier is its straightforward, unadorned production: no barrel finishing, no exotic botanicals, no age statement complexity — a utilitarian gin designed for high-volume mixing rather than sipping. Drink now; no cellaring upside.
