1000 Piers Coastal Carolina Gin: A Modern Masterpiece of the Coast
Experience a multi award-winning spirit that redefines tradition. 1000 Piers Coastal Carolina Gin is an unashamedly modern London Dry, meticulously crafted to capture the vibrant, sun-drenched essence of the Carolina coast. This isn't just a gin; it is the result of a three-year obsession to perfect a recipe that balances complexity with an explosive flavor profile.
While many gins lean on dried ingredients, we believe in the power of the fresh harvest. By utilizing a lavish blend of 22 hand-selected botanicals, we pack a sensory punch that most gins simply cannot match.
-
The Bright & The Bold: A citrus-forward core of Orange, Grapefruit, Lemongrass, and Kaffir Lime provides a zesty, uplifting brightness.
-
Deep Complexity: Notes of Ginger, Blueberries, and Star Anise add layers of spicy warmth and a subtle, dark-fruit sweetness that evolves with every sip.
-
Grown Locally: We are deeply rooted in our terroir, sourcing as many botanicals as possible from local Carolina farms to ensure the freshest possible spirit.
As a true London Dry, we hold the craft of distillation in the highest regard. Our philosophy is simple: what you taste in the bottle is exactly what was captured coming off the still.
-
Zero Additives: No flavors or sweeteners are added after distillation. The richness you experience is purely the result of our botanicals and our labor.
-
Hybrid Distillation: We employ a carefully considered combination of distillation methods, tailored to extract the absolute peak of flavor from each specific botanical.

Tasting Notes
Nose The experience opens with vibrant, cascading waves of fresh citrus, offering an immediate sense of coastal brightness. As the initial zest settles, it reveals a delicate layer of soft floral notes, beautifully balanced by a sophisticated whisper of warm spice and cracked pepper.
Palate On the palate, the complexity of this spirit is revealed in chapters. The arrival is remarkably smooth and almost creamy, a testament to the meticulous distillation of our 22 botanicals. The journey begins with a harmonious "citrus symphony"—sweet orange, lime, grapefruit, and lemongrass—working in perfect tandem with the clean, piney essence of juniper. As the spirit develops, the mid-palate introduces a refined warmth; notes of ginger, galangal, cubeb, and black pepper take center stage, providing a structured, spicy depth.
Finish The finish is exceptionally smooth and pristine. It lingers with a crystalline clarity, leaving behind elegant, subtle traces of star anise and green cardamom. A final, refreshing echo of citrus ensures the palate is left invigorated and clean.
