While the niceties of gin are lost on this vodka-lover's palate, I'd certainly belly up for more of the voice. Rock on. This is a goddamn beautifully written post.

I have the #6 (and like it very much), and just got to try a few sips of the #11 yesterday thanks to the generosity of a friend. I really need to find out where he got it. ;-) What a great analysis of gin…both the category and these specific products.

Their products are available in Northern California and are just now becoming available in the Southland, but as with all things booze-related there are a lot of hoops to jump through to make that happen. Rest assured North Shore is working hard to bring you gin (and absinthe and aquavit...).

But to be fair, I am in Chicago so it is obviously easier to get it here. I'm not sure what the laws are where you are, but Binny's does list it on their website, and they ship, at a minimum, countrywide. http://www.binnys.com/spirits/North_Shore_Gin_No._11_151456.html And yes, the Aquavit is very good as well.

We can't find it here, and now I'm annoyed that I didn't convince her to get their Aquavit as well (although I have since been promised a taste of it at Tales). Apparently the No. 11 is only being sold to bars, and not on the shelf for normal consumers. We got a bottle of No. 6 when Andrea was visiting her family out in Indiana.

Fantastic stuff. I loved the 11. Guess I need to take a trip to Culver City. Got to try these at the American Distiller Institute’s conference a few months back. Fantastic stuff. I loved the 11.
