Eral Gokgol-Kline from The Vale Fox Distillery

You might think there are enough Gins on the market but a new gin, Tod & Vixen's Dry Gin 1651, which has just been released by the Vale Fox Distillery in upstate New York, has done things a little bit differently. They have created a gin that has been specifically designed to be a good base for a cocktail. 

Made in consultation with three top bartenders - gaz regan, Leo Robitschek, and Jeffrey Morgenthaler - the gin is made with botanicals including juniper and angelica root without chill filtration to “retain these robust flavours”.

We talk to founder Eral Gokgol-Kline about working with bartenders, the adventurers of foxes and what makes a good cocktail gin.
