Award-winning craft distillery FEW Spirits and iconic Chicago independent record label Bloodshot Records have joined forces once again, this year for a limited-edition gin. The new Bloodshot Records Insurgint Gin features dazzling wafts of blood orange, flavorful heat-but-not-hot notes of guajillo peppers, and the familiar nip of juniper. The botanical recipe was developed by FEW Spirits master distiller Paul Hletko and the Bloodshot staff. This gin is truly unique, uniquely bold yet smooth, and it comes just in time for autumn. The spicy and warm nature of Insurgint Gin is ideal for your favorite fall cocktails, or by itself on the front porch.
In the summer of 2015, Bloodshot first teamed up with FEW to create the exclusive Bloodshot's Small Batch Bourbon to honor the milestone of Bloodshot’s 21st birthday. The blend was also curated by Hletko and the Bloodshot Records staff, and launched with a live music event at the distillery. The 500 coveted bottles flew off the shelves, and the barrels that had held the spirit were then used by Lagunitas Brewing Company to make the special Lagunitas Bloodshot FEW Brew. Needless to say, the project was a success.
These days, no one passes up the opportunity to follow success with a sequel, so this year FEW and Bloodshot put their collective heads together to develop a new collaborative spirit. But this time, it’s gin.
Small-batch and local. That’s how we like our music and our gin.
