Share the story with the public about the 400 year history of modern gin while shaking libations and inform your people that the world of gin is not just London Dry. As we reclaim our lost small batch heritage we find ourselves amidst the most unique point in spirit history of the last 100 years.

We are delighted to be a part of this process and this Fourth of July, and summer, we hope you celebrate with our American Dry Fourth of July Gin Cocktails using Small’s.

Write your Congressmen and be a part of history affecting change in TTB law governing the definitions of gin and helping to create this new category, American Dry. Below is our letter that we encourage you to copy and write or email your Congressmen.

Sante, Christophe 



Dear Congressman,RE: Chapter 4, Class and Type Designation for Spirits
We propose an amendment to the TTB Class and Type Designation under spirits for the category of gin under Title 27--Alcohol, Tobacco Products and Firearms (gin standard of identity is below) for the primary reason that historical categories of gin (ie. London Dry, Old Tom and Geneva gins) are not given specificity for their historical styles. This is an egregious disservice to the consumer. Consumers have the right to know from where and what style of spirit it is they are consuming. Current gin definitions are vague and ambiguous such that a Geneva gin could be labeled London Dry without any oversite. Our secondary reason to request an amendment to the standards of identity is to foster appellation of spirits within the United States which would give greater regional specificity to American spirits and define more precisely the style and quality each spirit. Consumers deserve to have stronger oversite on distilled spirits much as we have a robust appellation process for vineyard land and wines in America.
Sincerely,


Your Name

(c) Class 3; gin. “Gin” is a product obtained by original distillation from mash, or by redistillation of distilled spirits, or by mixing neutral spirits, with or over juniper berries and other aromatics, or with or over extracts derived from infusions, percolations, or maceration of such materials, and includes mixtures of gin and neutral spirits. It shall derive its main characteristic flavor from juniper berries and be bottled at not less than 80° proof. Gin produced exclusively by original distillation or by redistillation may be further designated as “distilled”. “Dry gin” (London dry gin), “Geneva gin” (Hollands gin), and “Old Tom gin” (Tom gin) are types of gin known under such designations.
