Wingman Gin - Covid Bottle Edition

80 Proof / 40% ABV
Gold Medal- The 50 Best 2021
Silver Medal- Bartender Spirit Awards 2022

Mission success is achieved with the mutual support and situational awareness of all team members. ‘Wingman’ mentality epitomizes the role that each Airman practices on the ground and in the air.

Our first tasting medal ever comes in Gold and for our Wingman Gin! In 2021 we were awarded a Gold Medal from The Fifty Best International Tasting held in New York City.

It is fitting that the all-Colorado refined sugar beets that are the foundation of our Minuteman Vodka also be the same locally-sourced ingredients for our Wingman Gin; afterall, the Air Force originated in the United States Army as the Army Air Corps until 1947.

Our one-of-a-kind, custom-made copper ‘Rocket Still’ produces a smoothness in all of our spirits unattainable to traditional stills and processes. Juniper berries and a handful of other botanicals provide a pleasing, clean, Colorado Dry Gin unmeasurable anywhere within the Centennial State. 

Wingman Gin does not carry on the undesirable reputations of most gins of the past. Instead, you will enjoy the delightful floral hints of cardamom and juniper that blend expertly into traditional cocktails. Gin & Tonics or Aviations play nicely, but Wingman Gin allows the refined sophistication of a well-aged whiskey where you can enjoy its flavors on a single rock or in a dry martini. Any type of citrus mixes well with Wingman including grapefruit and lime for an amazing Salty Dog. Like our Air Force, your taste buds will love to ‘Aim High!’

Like many businesses across the nation, we have had to temporarily use a round bottle due to supply shortages. We now have what we like to call our "Covid Bottle Edition" of our same great-tasting 1350 spirits inside a round bottle. As soon as our square bottles return, we will bring them back to the shop too. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
