Fear City Gin recently won two awards at the 2024 USA Spirits Ratings in San Francisco — a gold medal and “Best in Show by Country” for the United States.
Launched in April 2024, this modern, New American gin was produced by the award-winning distillery Matchbook Distilling Company in Greenport. At the competition, judges praised its complex yet easy-to-drink profile and harmonious notes of piney juniper, citrus, sage, eucalyptus, and cardamom. This local gin has a unique production element — it was created with sustainably grown sugar kelp (seaweed) from Long Island Sound.
It comes in a 750ml bottle that retails for $39.99 and is 80 proof / 40% ABV.
