Wolf Point Florence Field Gin

Wolf Point Florence Field Gin is a botanical-forward American gin distilled at Wolf Point Distillery in Chicago's Loop neighborhood, named for the historic fork where the Chicago River splits and the city began. This 80-proof expression builds on a foundation of ten carefully selected botanicals — juniper berries, lemongrass, coriander, grains of paradise, cardamom, lemon peel, angelica root, chamomile flower, orris root, and hibiscus — delivering a soft, floral profile that balances classic London Dry structure with distinctly modern aromatics. The botanical bill tilts toward citrus and floral complexity, with chamomile and hibiscus lending a delicate pink-tinged warmth that sets it apart from heavier juniper-dominant gins. Wolf Point Distillery operates in the heart of downtown Chicago, drawing its name from the intersection where the North and South branches of the Chicago River meet — the geographical origin point of the city itself. The distillery crafts its spirits on-site using traditional copper pot stills, and Florence Field Gin reflects a Chicago ethos of layered complexity without unnecessary bravado. The botanical maceration emphasizes balance: the juniper is present but not overwhelming, allowing lemongrass and lemon peel to lift the mid-palate, while grains of paradise and cardamom add subtle spice without heat. Orris root and angelica provide the structural backbone, and chamomile softens the finish with a honeyed, almost tea-like quality. On the nose, Florence Field Gin opens with powdered citrus, fresh lemongrass, and a whisper of floral honey. The palate is sleek and medium-bodied, with juniper and coriander anchoring herbal notes of chamomile and a gentle cardamom warmth. The finish is clean and slightly sweet, with lingering hibiscus and a touch of angelica root earthiness. This is a gin that works beautifully in a classic gin and tonic with a lemon twist, elevates a Negroni with its floral complexity, or shines in a French 75 where the chamomile plays off Champagne bubbles. It's also refined enough to sip neat or over a large ice cube if you want to explore the botanical layers without dilution.
