Production & Heritage

Still G.I.N. is distilled and bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky, a town long associated with American spirits production. The gin starts as a neutral grain spirit, which is then redistilled using vacuum distillation inside copper pots. This process lowers the pressure within the stills, reducing boiling points so that delicate botanical compounds — specifically tangerine, jasmine, and coriander — can be extracted without the harsh thermal degradation that conventional distillation can cause. The result is a cleaner, more aromatic spirit that preserves bright citrus and floral character. It represents a significant step up in ambition from Snoop Dogg's earlier foray into spirits, the strawberry-flavored Indoggo gin.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Immediately citrus-forward, recalling fresh orange groves. Sweet orange and mandarin lead, followed by powdery rose, delicate jasmine, and a whisper of coriander seed in the background.

Taste: The entry is bright with Seville orange and a light coriander spice. At mid-palate, the citrus intensifies dramatically, with vivid tangerine taking center stage alongside subtle floral undertones. The mouthfeel is smooth and approachable, with the botanicals well integrated rather than competing.

Finish: Clean and medium in length, with a softly warming quality and a subtle spice afterglow. The tangerine lingers gently without turning bitter or drying out.

How to Drink Still G.I.N.

The bright citrus profile makes this gin genuinely enjoyable neat or over a single large ice cube, where the tangerine and jasmine open up as the spirit chills slightly. It also performs well in cocktails that benefit from a citrus-driven base:

• Gin and Tonic: The tangerine intensity pairs naturally with tonic water, requiring only a wheel of fresh orange rather than lime as garnish.
• Bee's Knees: Honey syrup and lemon juice complement the floral jasmine note while the gin's citrus backbone keeps the drink from becoming too sweet.
• Gimlet: A classic lime-and-gin ratio lets the coriander spice peek through, adding dimension beyond a standard London Dry base.

Best For

• Gin drinkers exploring citrus-forward, New Western–style expressions
• Hip-hop culture enthusiasts who want a celebrity spirit that actually delivers on flavor
• Hosting a summer cocktail party where crowd-friendly G&Ts are the focus
• Gifting someone who appreciates both pop culture and well-made spirits
