Well, Crispin thought there was a lot of room for improvement by using the finest craft methods. So did Paul Pacult: his Spirit Journal’s 2013 list of the world’s 120 best spirits, included Russell Henry Gin, ‘A stellar example, a new landmark in American gin-making.’ ” Cain infuses these gins with a secret recipe of rare botanicals, real fruit, and real spices including juniper, coriander, cardamom, orris root, and lemon peel.

Russell Henry Malaysian Lime Gin is made using Russell Henry London Dry Gin. After distillation, the gin is steeped in the leaves and fruit of the limau purut, a type of lime native to Malaysia. They source the fruit from the exotic orchards of John Kirkpatrick in the San Joaquin Valley. The limau purut, which is often used in Malaysian and Indonesian cuisine, has a rough, bumpy skin and a robust, slightly tangy flavor. As a result, Russell Henry Malaysian Lime Gin has bold notes of citrus that finish with a soft touch of zesty lemon and lime.

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.
