Review: Silo Gin

by Jeff Ellingson

Silo Gin is crafted from barn to bottle in the barn distillery  built by Peter Jillson and Anne Marie Delaney in Windsor Vermont in 2013.  Erin Bell is Head Distiller.  In recent years distillers have significantly increased the number of botanicals they use to produce their gin.  Citadelle Gin uses 19.  The Botanist Gin has 31.  Monkey 47 Dry Gin is the current clubhouse leader packing 47 botanicals in each bottle of their gin.  Silo Gin takes the opposite approach as they only add two botanicals, apple and juniper berries to their 100% non GMO corn distilled base.  Silo is double distilled in a custom Carl stainless steel and copper still.  After the first distillation, smashed whole locally harvested wild, hybrid, and semi sweet apple varieties, along with New England grown juniper berries are added to the pot and gin basket.  The flavors are both boiled and steamed into the final product.  The two types of flavoring are designed to diversify the elements pulled from the two botanicals as ingredients can change depending on how you cook and incorporate them.  Silo Gin is bottled in the barn distillery at 90 proof.     The aroma leads with floral juniper.  Cinnamon apple and boiled corn follow.  Additional time in the glass brings out a hint of violet.  The floral juniper entry is joined by sweet corn and vanilla.  The flavor volume intensifies to a tart apple, subtle citrus, and juniper peak.  It fades with vanilla iced cinnamon apple danish.  The finish is semi-dry warm and peppery leaving apple peel, sweet corn and juniper berry taste.  By both distilling and infusing the apple and juniper berries, Silo Gin has a rich apple and juniper taste.  By using only two botanicals Silo also has a much less busy taste profile making juniper berries the star and not just a participant in their gin.
