Calwise Holiday Big Sur Cranberry Flavored Gin 750ml

Calwise Holiday Big Sur Cranberry Gin transforms their acclaimed terroir-driven gin into a festive expression that captures California's holiday spirit. This seasonal offering adds locally sourced cranberries to their Big Sur botanical base, creating a flavored gin that maintains sophistication while celebrating the warmth of West Coast winters.

The addition of cranberries to Calwise's distinctive blend of coastal botanicals creates unexpected harmony. The tart, slightly bitter character of cranberries complements the earthy sage and bay laurel, while adding festive color and flavor. Unlike many flavored gins that rely on sweetness, Calwise maintains their commitment to dryness, allowing the cranberries' natural complexity to shine. The result is a holiday gin that appeals to serious gin drinkers rather than just seasonal novelty seekers.

The tasting experience balances festivity with sophistication. The nose presents bright cranberry aromas layered over Big Sur's wild herbs, creating an inviting holiday bouquet. On the palate, tart cranberry flavors mingle with coastal sage and juniper, while bay laurel adds depth and complexity. The cranberries provide natural color and flavor without artificial sweetness, maintaining the gin's essential dryness. The finish combines warming botanicals with lingering cranberry tartness.

This holiday expression excels in seasonal cocktails that showcase its unique character. A cranberry gin and tonic becomes a festive yet sophisticated refresher, while creative bartenders use it to add natural cranberry flavor to holiday punches and cocktails without additional juices or syrups. For those seeking holiday spirits that maintain craft quality and regional character, Calwise Holiday Big Sur offers a taste of California Christmas - where cranberries meet coastal botanicals in perfect seasonal harmony.
