Botanicals

Each of our Battle Standard 142 Gins is distilled with eight botanicals including juniper, orange peel, cinnamon, cardamom, coriander, grains of paradise, angelica root, and orris root. Crafted in the “Contemporary” or “New Western” style, our gins feature less juniper allowing more of the other botanicals to shine.

History

Our Battle Standard 142 Gins are named in honor of the 142 Cadet Midshipmen from the US Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) who lost their lives serving their country in World War II. Our founders’ alma mater, the USMMA, is the only federal academy authorized to fly a Battle Standard in memory of those brave men who made the ultimate sacrifice.
