Fresh Lime Leaves
In this release, fresh Malaysian lime leaves are macerated for a month in-unusually pure high-proof base spirit, then blended into the London Dry gin, offering deep and penetrating citrus notes that show themselves well mixed with fresh citrus juices.
Deep & Complex
The fruit used for the infused gins comes from the exotic-fruit orchards of John Kirkpatrick in Exeter, Tulare County, CA, “citrus capital of the world”. We go to some trouble to get the fruit as freshly picked as possible. For the Malaysian Lime (citrus hystrix, also known as kaffir lime), we favor the deep-flavored leaves which are deep and complex. Makes incredible G & Ts.

Russell Henry Malaysian Lime Gin
Extraordinarily appealing gin. Very smooth, very rich. The botanical mix is Crispin Cain's secret, but includes juniper, coriander, orris root, and lemon peel. The old cognac still lends its usual focused delicacy to the flavor.
In this version, fresh Malaysian Lime leaves are macerated for a month then blended into the gin, offering floral and penetrating citrus notes that hold up well when mixed with fresh citrus juice.
Russell Henry Malaysian Lime Gin has earned the Chairman's Trophy with an incredible 94 points and "Excellent, Highly Recommended" at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2020.
Another gin?
It’s because we thought there was a lot of room for improvement. Among us we had some 50 years thinking about and distilling craft-method spirits. Ansley Coale of Craft Distillers and Crispin and Devin Cain of Tamar distillery talked, thought, experimented, tasted. One of the things we wanted to do was figure out how to distill a real-fruit gin, one that would include genuine flavors, instead of having them added, so that we could make authentic Lime gins.
Did it work?
Here’s what Paul Pacult’s Spirit Journal had to say: “Entry is delicate, gently bittersweet, herbaceous, at the last a touch juniper-like; mid-palate features more ginger, no paucity of juniper, coriander, rose petal, or angelica. Finishes like silk in the throat. Delicious. Highest recommendation”
